[Bug 59214] New: Keysym translation breaks key bindings in most video games for Dvorak users
by WineHQ Bugzilla Jan. 6, 2026

Jan. 6, 2026

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59214 Bug ID: 59214 Summary: Keysym translation breaks key bindings in most video games for Dvorak users Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winex11.drv Assignee: wine-bugs(a)list.winehq.org Reporter: burneddi(a)protonmail.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 80110 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=80110 workaround for the issue Most video games try to bind keys by positions (virtual keycodes) rather than by keysyms. This means the keybindings will be layout-agnostic as long as the user is using a standard physical keyboard -- so e.g. WASD movement will still happen on where the WASD keys would be on QWERTY even if the user's layout is AZERTY or Dvorak. The way Wine remaps vkeys for Dvorak layouts breaks this, resulting in the default controls in most games being unusable and the user having to rebind every key manually (so e.g. WASD in the settings menu becomes ,AOE). I can't imagine translating vkeys like this is actually correct or desireable behaviour. I don't have a Windows machine or the Windows know-how to test this right now, but I'm pretty sure on Windows a Dvorak layout will still be sending standard QWERTY keycodes, making Wine's behaviour incorrect. I've attached a patch that I use to work around this problem by just disabling the Dvorak-specific vkey layout translation. With this patch keyboard binds in games work as expected, and it doesn't break typing into text fields because input into those uses keysyms rather than keycodes. It's not production-ready (I just commented out the dvorak vkey table) but should help illustrate the problem. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3638 --- Comment #22 from imccluney(a)comcast.net --- Created attachment 80113 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=80113 Patch of winevdm.c To be sure, I do have an account on GitLab, at https://gitlab.winehq.org/BigBlueGnu, but yes, you are right when you say that I need approval to fork the project. I intended to show my changes after getting the go-ahead from the Wine team, but if that's not how it works, I guess I will attach a text file containing only the differences between my version of the /wine/programs/winevdm/winevdm.c file and Wine 10.0's own, from which began the patch. Also included are the author of the changes and when the file was last modified. Anyway, here is the file. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 59215] New: Wine fails to start with SELinux enabled on Rocky Linux 8.10+

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59215 Bug ID: 59215 Summary: Wine fails to start with SELinux enabled on Rocky Linux 8.10+ Product: Wine Version: 10.0 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)list.winehq.org Reporter: rikul(a)inbox.ru Distribution: --- Wine does not start when SELinux is enabled on Rocky Linux 8.10. Even wineboot fails to run. The issue was reproduced with Wine 9.0, Wine 10.0, and the current master branch. --- Steps to Reproduce --- 1. Enable SELinux (enforcing mode). 2. Run wine or wineboot. --- Actual Result --- Wine fails to start. With WINEDEBUG enabled, the following errors are printed: 14111.628:0020:0024:err:virtual:map_image_into_view failed to set 60000020 protection on L"\\??\\C:\\windows\\system32\\ntdll.dll" section .text, noexec filesystem 14111.613:0028:002c:err:virtual:virtual_setup_exception stack overflow 1344 bytes addr 0x6fffffc2faac stack 0x7ffffe100ac0 (0x7ffffe100000-0x7ffffe101000-0x7ffffe300000) SELinux also reports the following denial: SELinux is preventing /home/*user_path*/wine/bin/wine64-preloader from execmod access on the file /home/*user_path*/wine/lib/wine/x86_64-windows/ntdll.dll. ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (89.3 confidence) suggests ****************** If you want to allow selinuxuser to execmod Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'selinuxuser_execmod' boolean. Do setsebool -P selinuxuser_execmod 1 ***** Plugin catchall (11.6 confidence) suggests ************************** --- Notes --- Disabling SELinux or switching it to permissive mode allows Wine to start normally. I understand the SELinux-suggested workaround above, however I would like to understand why Wine requires such permissions (execmod on DLL files), as enabling them may introduce potential security risks. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 59216] New: Share-Button of XBox Controller not recognized anymore since being a XInput-device only
by WineHQ Bugzilla Jan. 5, 2026

Jan. 5, 2026

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59216 Bug ID: 59216 Summary: Share-Button of XBox Controller not recognized anymore since being a XInput-device only Product: Wine Version: 10.20 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: xinput Assignee: wine-bugs(a)list.winehq.org Reporter: hausladen(a)gmx.net Distribution: --- Hello everyone, I created an environment in Bottles using the Soda 9.0.1 runner (I’m not entirely sure which Wine version it’s based on). Due to some graphical issues, I switched to the official Wine 10.20 release. After doing so, I noticed that the Share button (the one in the center with the arrow up symbol) on my Xbox Wireless Controller (Model 1914) stopped working. Under Soda 9, the button was recognized as Button 15 in the DInput tab when I overrode the controller in Wine’s game controller settings. However, with Wine 10.20, I'm not able to get back buttons up to 19 (as under Soda 9). Now the maximum amount of buttons I am able to achieve is 13 buttons. >From my research of few days now, it seems this issue might be related to Wine’s controller backend now using XInput only, which doesn’t support additional “misc” buttons like the Share button. It also appears that DInput support can no longer be re-enabled in same way, allowing acces to those extra buttons. Is there any way of a workaround to get back the support for additional controller-buttons? (Or is there already some kind of feature planned allowing ?) What I've tried: - SDL On/off - HiDraw on/off - Disabling XInput in RegEdit by HKCU/Software/Wine/DirectInput/UseXInput - Disabling XInput dlls in library-configuration separately as well as combinations of them.

The first run was done with Wine 079179fec720780679db3eed90adcc257f4ff240: https://youtu.be/5HuZZfMf4-g One interesting thing is that, in recent Wine builds, the game stops rendering right after Wine throws "err:seh:dispatch_user_callback ignoring exception c0000094" -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
