shock2.exe run with d3d tracing

Hi there,

I just installed the System Shock 2 demo to check if it still does not work
with wine (according to the AppDB it doesn't really work well).

And indeed, it doesn't even start. I get some very high pitched sound
distortions after the loading screen ends. The usual background hum continues,
but all I see is a black screen. Sometimes I see a dialogue box for some
milliseconds, but that's all.
Now wine consumes a huge amount of CPU and sometimes doesn't even let me switch
to other applications (currently virtual desktop is on) and even VT switch is
impossible. I have put wineserver -k on a ACPI event button, this is the only
way I can kill wine after SS2 fucks it up.

I post a very short console log here and a more detailed d3d trace as
attachment:
err:ddraw:PixelFormat_DD2WineD3D Unknown Pixelformat!
err:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_CreateNewSurface Unsupported / Unknown pixelformat
err:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_CreateSurface IDirectDrawImpl_CreateNewSurface failed
with 88760091
err:ddraw:PixelFormat_DD2WineD3D Unknown Pixelformat!
err:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_CreateNewSurface Unsupported / Unknown pixelformat
err:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_CreateSurface IDirectDrawImpl_CreateNewSurface failed
with 88760091

The thing is that the game should use D3D, but I can't even select it in the
options. The only thing I can select is a DirectDraw renderer. I'm going to
create some ddraw traces, maybe these have additional informations.

BUT the game seems to use d3d calls (the d3d trace grew quite large).

Oh yes, I have added the safe_texture_manager stuff to the cam.cfg, according
to board postings on the net this should reduce some problems on windows as
well. But it doesn't really make any difference here, I also get a black screen
without the config modification.

Greetings,
Tobias
