Bug ID: 52529 Summary: Black screen in Zork: Grand Inquisitor Product: Wine Version: 7.0 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: jhansonxi@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Zork: Grand Inquisitor (CD and demo version) installs without problems but launching the game results in a black screen.
This may be related to bug 1347, bug 2082, etc. but needs to be reviewed to determine if it is a duplicate of those or not.
Demo: https://archive.org/details/ZGIDEMO
GoG: https://www.gog.com/game/zork_grand_inquisitor
The CD version of the game is playable on ScummVM and the GoG version includes it. The demo doesn't work (cursor only) so the other versions are more reliable examples of expected behavior.

The game requires 640x480x16. I tried it in a virtual desktop and Xephyr. Game music requires MIDI (I used TiMidity++).
