Wine error "egl: failed to create dri2 screen"

wknauf · April 3, 2026, 12:04pm

Using OpenSuse Leap 16.0.
Wine does not start any more: when launching “winecfg”, it prints this output:

00ac:err:ntoskrnl:ZwLoadDriver failed to create driver L"\\Registry\\Machine\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\winebth": c00000e5
003c:fixme:service:scmdatabase_autostart_services Auto-start service L"winebth" failed to start: 1359
libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen
libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen

I found hints in the web that it might be related to NVidia drivers, and they mentioned the command “eglinfo -B”.

The output of “eglinfo -B” ends with the same error:

(the last line tranlates to something like “memory access error”).

My computer has only one graphics deviec (and no onboard device as far as I remember - it is a AMD board), so I wonder what this “device #1” could be.

The output of zypper se -s nvidia is too long to post it here.

Myrlyn and the OpenSuse software update notification show that an NVidia update is available:

But I always use “zypper up” to update the NVidia driver, as in OpenSuse 15.6 it broke the driver occasionally.
And “zypper up” prints that it does not update the NVidia driver:

I think there was a Wine update to 11.4 this week (I installed it from the repo at https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/16.0/ ). And I recently plugged in my Steam VR set - but I unplugged it now and rebooted - the error continues.

Do you have further ideas what to do?

Do you have 32 bit enabled for Wine?

wknauf · April 3, 2026, 1:45pm

Yes. I followed this guide: https://wine.htmlvalidator.com/install-wine-on-opensuse-leap-16.0.html - you probably mean the chapter “Enable IA-32 Execution Layer”?

Some days ago, it worked.

wknauf · April 19, 2026, 10:31am

Still broken…

There was a Wine update to “11.7-lp160.1982.1” a few days ago, which did not help.

I also tried to reinstall the NVidia driver with this command - did not help:

rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep -e ^nvidia -e ^libnvidia)
zypper in nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-meta

In the “Cockpit” logs view, I found this error after calling “libeglinfo -B”:

Please show
zypper se -si nvidia

wknauf · April 19, 2026, 10:43am

I think I found a workaround here:

Starting “eglinfo” with this command works:

__EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/10_nvidia.json eglinfo -B

Same for Wine:

__EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/10_nvidia.json wine winecfg

According to the linked Mesa issue, this is fixed in Mesa 25.0.3. But Leap 16.0 brings Mesa 24.3.3.

Is there a better solution to this problem? As it stopped working some weeks ago, there must have been a change to my system (probably not by me, but by some software updates or by me accidentally plugging in my Steam VR set?). Do you have any idea what this change could be and how to revert it?
