           Summary: Wine should warn Mesa OpenGL will not work with most 3D
                    programs.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.11.
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: docbill+bugzilla at freeshell.org


Wine should warn when Mesa OpenGL is being used that most 3D programs will not
work. Wine should also detect the return error codes, rather than just crashing.
I notice this problem when trying to run Neverwinter Nights.  The program would
crash whenever I tried to run nwmain.exe.  A few days later, I discovered my ATI
driver was not activated and I was still using Mesa Open GL.  After activating
the ATI driver I found Neverwinters Nights nolonger crashed on startup...  While
I do not expect Wine to run 3D programs without a 3D driver, I do expect it to
give appropraite errors and warnings rather than a crash with a traceback.
