             Bug #: 34878
           Summary: Games requiring DirectDrawRenderer set to GDI
                    (winetricks ddr=gdi) are black screen after 1.7.2
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.6
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Mac OS X
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3d
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: brymaster at gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


Games normally requiring winetricks ddr=gdi workaround (because of
garbage/distorted video with ddr=opengl) are only showing a black screen since
Wine 1.7.2. Example games are Age of Empires 1, 2 and C&C Red Alert 2.

Tested with both X11 and winemac driver, same results. Running OS X 10.8.5 with
Nvidia 9400M.

A few notes: 

- Running the games with X11 and ddr=opengl in a windowed virtual desktop at
800x600 will work to display video, but not in normal fullscreen.

- Unable to run the game windowed with winemac driver. It always forces it to
fullscreen, so I can't check to see if it'll run in a windowed virtual desktop
with ddr=opengl.

MS still has AoE trials online for anyone interested in replicating

Sorry no regression test yet.
