Wine / Crossover Games problem after upgrade to 11.2

English Applications

Hi all,

I seem to have experienced a regression issue in my recent zypper dup from 11.1 to 11.2.

I have an older game (Arcanum) which was running great under Wine / Crossover Games in Suse 11.1. Now however, when I try to start it, either using the Crossover Games version of Wine, or the Suse RPM version of wine, I get the same result. The screen changes mode and then . . . nothing. With verbose output I get the following error:

Running `"/home/paracelsus/cxgames/bin/cxavscan" "/home/paracelsus/.cxgames/Arcanum/drive_c/Program Files/MidgetReaper/Arcanum Ultima/Arcanum/Arcanum.exe"`
-> rc=768  (took 0.0625109672546387 seconds)
output=]

From what I can tell this is more an X server or kernel issue, or possibly the Nvidia drivers, I say that because: while Wine was updated in the dist upgrade, the Crossover games version was not and thus is unchanged from when the games worked. Of course the kernel, Xserver and Nvidia driver were all updated to new versions though.

I’ve Googled from more info on fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW but have not found much useful info.

My xrandr setup (not too exciting):

I tried turning off compositing and using my old (pre Suse 11.2) xorg.conf but no luck.

Does anyone have any bright ideas on what I might be able to do to get this working? I JUST had this working and really want to play this game again, it’s been years since I played it, and it’s a bit disappointing to not be able to play it now. <sniff>

Thank you,

Well, I tried to zero in on this a bit more. I replaced the default 11.2 kernel with the desktop kernel:

paracelsus@Callandor:~> uname -a
Linux Callandor 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2009-10-26 15:49:03 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

This did not resolve the issue and wine / crossover still crashes out with the same error:


** Sun Nov 15 16:36:28 2009
Starting '/home/paracelsus/cxgames/bin/wineloader' 'winewrapper.exe' '--run' '--'
'/home/paracelsus/.cxgames/Arcanum/drive_c/Program Files/MidgetReaper/Arcanum Ultima/Arcanum/Arcanum.exe' '-no3d' '-doublebuffer'

fixme:xrandr:X11DRV_XRandR_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 16

So I then decided to try compiling the latest Nvidia drivers from source as perhaps the 11.2 packaged ones had a glitch. However, after compiling using the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.20-pkg1.run release, I still get exactly the same issue.

Hummm . . .with so little to go on, I am at a bit of a loss. Does anyone have any ideas on a direction to take that might be successful?

Thanks,
