WineHQ FAQ even has a page on that infamous message:
https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Broken_NVIDIA_RandR_detected. 2C_falling_back_to_RandR_1.0
I've tried applying their fixes in xorg.conf to no avail. Of course running wine on Wayland (bypassing xorg all together) makes the problem go away.
Yeah this is sounding like an X11 or Nvidia driver bug that just happens to be triggered by Wine containing this commit for users with two monitors (with one of them being DVI). Which is insanity lol.
I'm trying to see if I can get a patch together that reverts some of the stuff to see if you can test it, but it's gonna take a bit because one of the files in question doesn't even exist (it was renamed), so it's not as simple as "git revert <badcommit>", and what's more that file has changed a bunch since then so I've had to modify it. But I'm almost done and then I'll check to make sure it builds and I'll post it. This would at least let you get the benefits of newer wine versions but without the bug (assuming it works).
