           Summary: Black Screen on Great Battles - Hanibal
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.13.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: gobnat at optusnet.com.au


I recently acquired a copy of the (somewhat old) game Great Battles - Hannibal. 

I loaded the game into SuSE 9.1 using the default wine shipped with SuSE 9.1
(2004- <something something>).  The game ran and displayed graphics faithfully
(well, at least as far as I could tell - see below)

The game requires the CD to be in the drive, and I had trouble configuring that
wine version to properly mount and identify the CD, so all I could get was the
intro screen and the network client.  These displayed properly. 

So I decided to upgrade to the most recent version of wine. That fixed my CD Rom
configuration issues, but now all the screens are (not quite but almost)
entirely black.  I have tried this with SuSE 9.1 (where a very dim outline is
faintly visible against the black - (enough to find the quit button))  and FC5
(where the screen is entirely black - can't even find the quit button!) and have
received the same results. 

So, the problem has been introduced somewhere between 2004 and now.  I can't
find where old wine versions are, otherwise I would try them.  GB-H
installs/uses DirectX 5.

I saw there was a patch for a similar problem listed for Diablo.  I tried to
apply it but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
