Bug ID: 42215 Summary: Pendulumania: Black screen (needs to emulate 8bpp mode in winex11) Product: Wine Version: 2.0-rc5 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winex11.drv Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: wylda@volny.cz Distribution: ---
Henri's comment in bug 40096:
The application uses GetDeviceCaps(dc, BITSPIXEL); to get the screen depth, and essentially gets confused when it's not the 8 bpp it previously set. It might be possible to emulate 8bpp mode in winex11, I'm not sure how hard that would be.
This hack works around the issue: https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=53902&action=diff
I'm not sure, if this older comment is still relevant in wine-2.0-rc5: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40096#c10
