Summary: Starting a wine app causes Xorg to reprobe video outputs (which is visually distracting for some types of displays) Product: Wine Version: 0.9.54. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winex11.drv AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: vanvugt@gmail.com
Reproduced in 0.9.54 but this has been a problem for me for a very long time.
OS is Ubuntu 7.10 i386 Hardware is an IBM ThinkPad T60 (intel graphics driver)
Starting virtually any wine app causes Xorg to reprobe it's outputs (proof is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log), which on my laptop is the same as running "xrandr". This results in the VGA signal being interrupted and my (main) external display flashing uncontrollably.
This only happens in wine apps, and with the xrandr command (which is meant to do it).
