           Summary: lack of GLX causes wine to crash
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.41.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-opengl
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: aezekowitz at gmail.com


whenever I try to run a particular program under wine (in this case the program
is microsoft pinball arcade, and glx is not available on the display, as is the
case with nvidia graphics cards in 8bpp mode, wine will outright crash, throwing
several errors to the screen. Below is an example of the errors I get:

Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":2.0".
err:wgl:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo  couldn't initialize OpenGL, expect problems

err:d3d:InitAdapters Failed to create a fake opengl context to find fbconfigs
formats
err:wine_d3d:WineDirect3DCreate Failed to initialize direct3d adapters


I am running 8bpp mode because the game in question absolutely will not work in
anything else but true 8bpp mode (that is to say, wine STILL can't translate
8bpp graphics to "normal" 24 bpp displays). I seem to recall from a recent test
that I did that wine version 0.9.38 did not crash.
