           Summary: Wine should warn Mesa OpenGL will not work with most 3D
                    programs.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.11.
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
        ReportedBy: docbill+bugzilla(a)freeshell.org


Wine should warn when Mesa OpenGL is being used that most 3D programs will not
work. Wine should also detect the return error codes, rather than just crashing.
I notice this problem when trying to run Neverwinter Nights.  The program would
crash whenever I tried to run nwmain.exe.  A few days later, I discovered my ATI
driver was not activated and I was still using Mesa Open GL.  After activating
the ATI driver I found Neverwinters Nights nolonger crashed on startup...  While
I do not expect Wine to run 3D programs without a 3D driver, I do expect it to
give appropraite errors and warnings rather than a crash with a traceback.
