            Bug ID: 47397
           Summary: Altium Designer 13.3.4 cannot render DirectX 3D on
                    second monitor in Wine 4.10
           Product: Wine
           Version: 4.8
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: brian.mccarter.ctr at navy.mil
      Distribution: ---

I have been running Altium Designer 13 on Wine successfully for some time,
using these packages installed with winetricks: gdiplus, corefonts, riched20,
mdac28, msxml16. That list was compiled from suggestions on the AppDB and may
include unnecessary packages, but it's been working fine for me through Wine
4.7.  The wineprefix is otherwise unmodified, and contains only the Altium
installation.  I use PlayOnLinux to manage the wineprefix and launch the
application.  The WINEARCH is win32.

I recently upgraded to Wine 4.10 (vanilla, not staging), and found that Altium
is no longer able to render DirectX 3D on my second monitor.  Rendering on my
primary monitor still works fine, and Wine does not crash or otherwise throw an
error when I move the Altium window to my second monitor.  The only error is
reported by Altium, and reads: "Graphics adapter for this display does not meet
DirectX requirements (DirectX 9.0c, Shader Model 3.0). Unable to switch to 3D."

Doing some digging, I found that the last version of Wine that renders
correctly on the second monitor is Wine 4.7.  Versions 4.8, 4.9, and 4.10 all
cause Altium to display the error.

My system uses an NVIDIA Quadro M4000 and the proprietary driver, version
430.14.  The OS is Gentoo Linux, kernel 5.1.5, mesa 18.3.6.  I have also tried
a recent Radeon card with mesa drivers and found the same problem, though I
haven't tested that configuration as extensively.

Nothing notable appears the debugger window when I launch the application
through PlayOnLinux.

I have tried to install several other programs with simple 3D displays in an
attempt to duplicate the error with other software, but I haven't been
successful.  

Please let me know how I can help resolve this issue.
