Summary: DOS games (e.g. Colonel's Bequest) need vga Color plane
                    write enable register
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.6
          Platform: Other

            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Several DOS games, e.g. Colonel's Bequest, complain and display nothing
because Wine does not yet support register 0x3c4 index 2:

fixme:ddraw:VGA_ioport_out Unsupported index, register 0x3c4: 0x02 (value 0x01)
fixme:ddraw:VGA_ioport_out Unsupported index, register 0x3c4: 0x02 (value 0x02)
fixme:ddraw:VGA_ioport_out Unsupported index, register 0x3c4: 0x02 (value 0x04)
fixme:ddraw:VGA_ioport_out Unsupported index, register 0x3c4: 0x02 (value 0x08)

http://www.qzx.com/pc-gpe/vgaregs.txt documents this register/index as follows:

Port-Index: 02h              Port: 03c4h
usage:      Color plane write enable register
            d7,d6 Reserved
            d3    Plane 3 Write enable
            d2    Plane 2 Write enable
            d1    Plane 1 Write enable
            d0    Plane 0 Write enable

Actually the primary issue is that VGA color planes aren't yet supported. Once
a fix is done for VGA memory planes, this will be literally a 2 line fix.
Unfortunately getting to that point requires a significant redesign.

Please also let me know what the terminal says the VGA mode number is set to.
This will help me prioritize patches.

fixme:ddraw:VGA_ioport_out Unsupported index, VGA graphics controller register
- other 0x3ce: 0x08 (value 0xff)
fixme:ddraw:VGA_ioport_out Unsupported index, VGA graphics controller register
- other 0x3ce: 0x08 (value 0x00)

These two lines are repeated endlessly.

This bug has not been updated for two years. Considering, that DOS support is
being phased out on behalf of dosbox, then shouldnt this be closed as wontfix ?

Needs dosbox.

What to do about DOS software?

Marking as NOTOURBUG? WONTFIX?

DOS support is removed from wine from version 3.1.
Hence marking as wont fix.
Please use dosbox
