Hi,

while Starcraft (specifically Broodwar) worked perfectly before, I now observed
that whenever I would let it run in fullscreen mode, it would be horribly slow
(about 2-3 fps) so that even moving the mouse cursor would become a frustrating
task. This issue does not show when starcraft is not drawing fullscreen, for
example when it is in a virtual desktop or when my window manager (awesome)
constricts it to a window.

This might be a problem with my graphics card/driver but since it worked fine
in wine a few years ago, I ran a regression test and found out that the problem
was introduced with commit 94ae743 which changed the DefaultSurfaceType to
opengl.

On my host I'm running Debian jessie (testing) amd64 with mesa 9.1 and intel
2.19 drivers. I did all the regression testing in a chroot environment with
Debian squeeze i386 because the specific wine versions around commit 94ae743
would not compile when libxml2 was too new.

I only have access to Intel graphics hardware, so I can't test on a machine
with a different graphics card. The laptop I was testing on was a Dell E6510
with Ironlake graphics as you can see in the attached glxinfo output.

I was told in IRC that this problem is likely a driver issue but nevertheless I
would like to know whether there is a patch that I can apply to my specific
wine version to restore the functionality I had before commit 94ae743 was
applied?
