[Bug 12138] New: Screenshots black or sheared for DirectX games

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12138

Summary: Screenshots black or sheared for DirectX games
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.56.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-ddraw
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Originally posted at http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=298 as a request
for whether it could be fixed through config etc.

I'm trying to take screenshots of the Dawn of War game through Wine. The game
runs fine with Wine and under Windows it has a built-in screenshot function
that dumps a JPEG to a sub-folder.

Under Wine the game never gets the print screen request because Compiz or
Metacity hijack the signal first and start Gnome-Screenshot. Sometimes the
screenshot is okay, but other times the screenshot has shearing/artifacting it
in, presumably because the trooper in the game moved before the screenshot app
could copy the whole image buffer.

If I change the key bindings so that nothing is intercepting the print screen
then I do get a screenshot in the folder as expected, but it is pure black and
so isn't very useful.

Apparently this is a bug that has been fixed before. I've assumed it is some
form of DirectX issue.

Graphics: Radeon X800XL with FGLRX v8.3 using AIGLX on XOrg server 7.3
OS: Fedora 8
Wine: 0.9.56 from Fedora repos
Tested under: Compiz-Fusion and Metacity
Success rate: Occasional for Gnome-Screenshot. Some screenshots only have minor
shearing/artifacting and are usable, others are terrible.

Example screenshots can be provided if necessary.

Is this still a problem in current (1.1.6 or newer) wine?

I've not got 1.1.6 yet, only 1.1.5 from the Fedora repos, but some quick
testing shows it's actually worse now in Dawn of War.

If I use Compiz as my window manager then I get a black screen with my
screenshots. If I use Metacity I get a shot of the desktop behind the game.
Screenshots used to generally work well under Compiz, except for the shearing
if the object moved.

I'll try some more tests out soon.

I've installed 1.1.6 from Fedora's "testing" repos and screenshots now take
pictures of the game (unlike the last test with 1.1.5 - I don't know why) but I
still get shearing with the Gnome screenshot tool. I'll attach screenshots in a
minute.

Disabling the Compiz and Gnome capture of the Print Screen button still results
in a pure black screen using both Compiz and Metacity as window managers.

I'm now using an nVidia 7950GT with the 173.14.12 drivers installed from Livna
and kernel 2.6.26.6.

Thanks.

Shearing of screenshot also occuring under Metacity

Just to make sure I don't end up causing confusion: This shearing is purely in
the screenshots. I don't notice any shearing in-game, just in the screenshots.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.20 or newer) wine?

Abandoned. If this is still an issue in current (1.1.32 or newer) wine, and you
can provide the needed information, feel free to reopen.
