Wine 1.1.17 console output

Red Alert 3 Demo plays audio fine, but both the videos and the menus are all
black, no images are drawn except the custom cursor.

"winetricks directx9" makes no difference.
The game won't load with GLSL disabled.

My graphics card (Radeon 9200) is a bit underpowered, but the videos should
still play correctly, as they do in other games (although native DirectX9 is
sometimes needed).

Tried with 1.1.9 too but the problem is the same.

I'm not sure if this is the same problem as described in Bug 17004, as I don't
get far enough into the game to determine this.  There is also no traces in
that bug.

error message

when you start the game, a splash screen appears.
i think it takes longer than normal and then returns an error message.

I don't think this is valid. A radeon 9200 certainly is far below to minimum
requirements of the game, and I wouldn't be surprised if the games uses pixel
shaders to draw the intro videos etc.

Works for me in 1.1.27, with NVIDIA 9600 GSO (190.18 driver).

Henri, you're probably right.  Can always reopen if I get anything more useful
to add.
