===============================================

Hi, 

I have a Toshiba Satellite L500 Laptop running 64bit Linux Mint Debian Edition
201109 (update pack 3). 

The laptop has ATI Radeon M92 (HD 4500 / 5000) graphics. 

LMDE is based on Debian testing and because at present there is no WINE in the
testing repositories, I have installed 1.3.30 from: 

http://frickelplatz.de/debian/ 

This seems to work fine: I can run LTspiceIV perfectly. 

However ... 

I have tried to install a game from the BBC Doctor Who series: 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/theadventuregames/download/tardis/Install-TARDIS.exe 

According to the WINE AppDB this should run OK. 

Installation seemed to run OK. 

The first attempt to run it got me a full screen startup first all black then a
screen split into a black/white triangle along a diagonal line which finally
turned into a largely black screen with a scrambled cursor and no clear picture
of anything. 

Once that point was reached I couldn't then close the window with the program
in it. The cursor only appeared in any window decorations and the main Linux
menu/taskbar bar. The machine ran very slow and I had to use the System Monitor
to kill the DoctorWho_pc.exe which then also killed wine. 

The intro music played fine so I assumed the problem was to do with the
graphics. 

I tried configuring wine to run a virtual desktop but that just framed the
whole thing in a virtual desktop and didn't change anything else. 

Unfortunately I didn't capture any log file info from those attempts. 

I then wondered if the problem might be with the linux native ATI Radeon
graphics drivers so I installed fglrx-driver.deb and associated .debs from
Synaptic. 

This seems to have made things worse because now all that happens when I try to
run the program is that a window pops open and then closes immediately. If I
set it to run in a virtual desktop then I get the blue virtual desktop for a
second or two, a white flash in that then it all closes again. 

I have posted to the forum 

http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=14045&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

and had a couple of suggestions:

Upgraded to 1.3.32 (from frickelplatz);

Removed: 

fglrx-atieventsd 
fglrx-driver 
fglrx-glx 
fglrx-glx-ia32 
fglrx-module-dkms 
glx-alternative-fglrx 

then reinstalled the same; 

Tried uninstalling the game from wine and reinstalling. 

No joy. same problem. 

As far as I know, the fglrx debs are effectively the same as the driver
downloaded directly from AMD.  

I have attached the results of running:

WINEDEBUG=+synchronous wine wholauncher.exe
