[Wine] Re: Wine 1.1.23 OS X NVIDIA String Error

[krslynx]

cd'd to the folder, and then wine'd the application however the same nVidia version string error appeared. I had some time last night to read through the offending code, but I don't think I'll have much time until maybe Thursday to create some fixes.

After doing a quick Google, I found that this error had already been reported and this thread seemed to be quite interesting.

I've checked, and I am running the latest XQuartz and wine versions, so I am assuming that he has either not completed a patch, or it has not been accepted into the main tree.

However, Stefan Dösinger replied not too long after and noted that OpenGL version parsing > nVidia, therefore driving parsing could be removed completely, which is what I am now doing. =)

Thanks for the help!
