--- Comment #6 from mikopp@gmail.com 2012-03-15 04:41:03 CDT --- Hi there are multiple upstream bugs * XRANDR operations very slow unless https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41059 * Connection probing causes stalls https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29536
But I maintain that there is a wine bug! wine is using this interface wrong!
Why is wine even using xrandr in my situation and why is it doing so many many times?
* I have disabled changing of resolution or anything by wine, so why is it even calling xrandr. BTW nothing in the behaviour of wine changes by disabling xrandr via the mentioned regedit setting! so in my configuration it is clearly not needed! * wine should not request this 8 times during an application start, and multiple times thereafter during things like file open or save. * if it does it should use "xrandr --current" instead of forcing a probe!
These things should be fixed in wine in my mind, because while there is an upstream bug it has long been there and never effected any applications at all! So please consider to reopen this and fix wines usage of the interface.
