Hi, I've done some more tests, and i found that when i run winedbg starcraft
and wine starcraft and then again winedbg starcraft etc. It works, but always
following this pattern:
<boot my box>
winedbg starcraft :all runs perfectly
wine starcraft: all video choppy
winedbg starcraft :all runs perfectly
winedbg starcraft: all video choppy
wine starcraft all video choppy
winedbg starcraft: :all runs perfectly
Looks like winedbg leaves some things in a bad state, and running wine seems
to solve the problems.
However, after each run of winedbg i have 4 more of these:
1797 pts/0 00:00:01 wine-kthread <defunct>
And after about 4 or 5 times trying the wine trick doesn't work anymore,
Whatever i do the game starts choppy.
I don't know how to trace a program while it's running from the debugger,
winededbg --debugmsg +x11drv <prog> doesn't seem to work. How is the corrrect
startline?
The trace from wine
shows that DGA is disabled (even with /dev/mem set at 777)
Can somebody confirm this pattern of events?
you need ,wine-20040121 (haven't tried other versions) and starcraft retail or
starcraft shareware to reproduce this. The shareware version of starcraft
should be available at:
