           Summary: Homeworld : Can't change resolution and excessive CPU

Terminal output when running the older wine.

With wine-1.6.x and 1.9.9 I have this problem on Kubuntu 14.04 64bit.

I can launch Homeworld (the game), and get to the main menu, however the
resolution is very low (800x600 or 640x480 I think).

If I go to the options menu and have a look at the settings, software rendering
is chosen. If I change the resolution or change the rendered (to either d3d or
GL), the game screen closes (I get back to the desktop) but the process still
exists and consumes 274% CPU (as reported by 'ps aux'). I have to kill -9 the
game process.

The same CPU usage happens if I launch the game and just leave it in the main
menu without doing anything at all.

I have managed to increase the resolution using:
  wine homeworld.exe /1280
however this is still using software render and also pegs the CPU to 274%.

I have tried the other options to switch rendered and always stays at software
renderer and high CPU usage.

I used to be able to play this game long ago, maybe with wine-1.0, so this
seems like a regression.

I am installing 32bit Kubuntu in a virtual box and will try to do git bisect -
hopefully will help.
