I've seen reports in comments with almost the same symptoms about RAGE crashing
at start on Mac OS X 10.6.x/10.7.x. Reporters had been stating that their Macs
are equipped with AMD Radeon videocards. Game console output you posted here
seems to looks exactly the same.

Would you please specify the exact hardware and software configuration you use,
including GPU driver's type and versions? The data you had submitted is very
limited and for example I can't guess from it if your system had two different
videocards or you're talking about two different systems, one with laptop
videocard and another with GTX 7800 videocard. Also more detailed WINEDEBUG
would help. You can look at Wine Wiki for tips of recording correct debug logs.

Thanks for your report.

Hi !
I've spend my afternoon with testing with my other computer, since the report,
so there's two computer tested.

I've generated reports with hardinfo. I will attach them soon.

I will investigate how to do more detailed wine bug reports, later.

And yes, this game is very VERY picky about hardware! It does not work properly
on non-beta drivers on Windows either. And that's on nVidia cards. ATI cards
have all sorts of issues - see Steam forum.

Closing - driver/hardware issue.

Vitaly, you're right about GTX 7800 cars which is based on G70 nVIDIA GPU but
you're wrong when it comes to laptop's GeForce 310M card which is based on
GT218 GPU. GT218 GPU is the successor of GT9x GPU series which were base for
GeForce 8xxx/9xxx series. Thus the game may fail to run on GTX 7800 but it
should at least run on GeForce 310M.

So this prior to closing this report invalid OP should install at least 280.13
version of nVIDIA binary drivers on his laptop (it's the version I use to play
this game under Wine - works well with G92 and GF116 based cards) and retest.
Also OP should make sure that his laptop card has at least 512Mb of VRAM
available (it is another minimal requirement - with less than this amount of
VRAM the game would render with glitches). As a last resort OP should try to
launch this game on the same laptop under Windows and report here if it works.

Hi again !

I updated the drivers with the xorg-edgers ppa.
Now, the laptop have 285.05.09 drivers.

Still the same issue.

As for the requirement : i don't know if the laptop is capable of running the
game.
I assume that he is, and pretty well, according to this video :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYuB7wtqneU

For the VRAM, according to the spec :
http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/laptops/1279453/asus-u35jc/specifications
There's no problem on this side.

Last but no least : unfortunately, i can't test this on Windows, since i don't
use any Microsoft product for years.

I will try to test it with the computer of a friend of mine, but it may take
long, since steam must download almost 22Go of data for this game...

Try to specify "+jobs_numThreads 0" at the Steam Game Launch Options. You also
may try to use "+jobs_numThreads -1" or "+jobs_numThreads 1" and see if it
helps.

Provide more details please. What's your OS/distro? What HW do you have? What
makes you believe that your issue was the same as the OP reported?

Yea, i am on ubuntu 11.10 x86_64 , My proc is Core i7 , and my graphic card is
a nvidia GTX 460  i go 4 Go of RAM

I got the same bug ("SetPixelFormat failed") at startup.
When i clean my  .wine/ folder everry thing work very well. (i don't configure
anything)

In my last .wine/ folder i configure lots of stuff . I don't know where the
problem coming.

I had the same problem with my arch-installation. For me it seemed to fix the
problem by installing the lib32-nvidia-utils package, but since i tried several
things it might have been something else. Anyways it runs very smooth now.

Same bug here :
Wine 1.3.33
Intel i7 2630QM
Nvidia GT540 M, 2GB VRAM

Wine is running fine with optirun (optimus with bumblebee), other games work.
I have the same output about "setpixelformat".

First, install the newest driver for your video card (for instance, nvidia is
290.10)

Then, remove your .wine folder.
Finally, reinstall the game.

I already use drivers from the x-updates ppa for ubuntu.
I backed up the game files, then deleted my .wine folder, and re-installed it
in a clean prefix. Still experiencing the bug.

Is this a game file integrity issue ? Can I check the integrity of the game
without re-downloading the whole game ?

--- Comment #24 from Alexey Loukianov  2011-11-30 01:43:14 CST ---
Basing on the info people are posting on various forums I suspect that this bug
is somehow related to the OpenGL implementation nVIDIA offers in their drivers
for mobile GPU series. I've seen reports from people running Windows + mobile
nVIDIA GPU posted on Steam forums about the game crashing at start complaining
on failed calls to SetPixelFormat and/or GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex.
Unfortunately I hadn't seen any posts from people affected by this problem
stating that they had been able to solve it.

Knowing the above and looking at the comments on this bug report makes me
believe that most likely this problem is driver-related and not a Wine bug.
Still, it isn't confirmed for sure and we've got at least one person who
reported this problem to happen with desktop-series nVIDIA GPU (Thomas Luquet
with his GTX460). Therefor, despite real status most likely is "NOTABUG" I
think that this report should be kept open for a while with "Unconfirmed"
status until someone would be able to prove if this is a bug in nVIDIA driver
or not.

What is the next step then (where to post about this and getting a chance of
seeing this fixed) ?

Yes it seems but that has to be proven yet. I can't do it due to I haven't got
direct access to PC which is affected by this bug. What should be done is to
hack-in testcase demonstrating this problem which can be compiled into native
linux ELF binary and then post a bug report to official nVIDIA linux forums so
they would add it into internal corporate bug tracker and - hopefully - fix it
some time at distant future. IOW first step needed is to reproduce the problem
with native linux app.

It seems that every openGL app crashes in wine for me.
I tried this extension viewer, it crashed :
http://www.realtech-vr.com/glview/download.html

Could anyone running Rage try it and confirm that it works so i could be sure
it comes from my specific configuration ?

(if someone else runs the extension viewer, that means it comes from bumblebee
library handling, and i will report the issue to bumblebee developpers, so i
really need people to run the test)

This points to incorrectly installed video driver. And not Wine bug.

Is there any way to know exactly what and where is missing for wine ?

I cannot install "correctly" nvidia drivers because i have a laptop with
optimus. That means i have to install nvidia drivers first, and then install
bumblebee to modify this installation (in order not to break my intel xorg
configuration). I need to know what and where wine is searching for, to report
this to bumblebee developpers so they can modify their scripts.

native 32 and 64 bit opengl apps run fine on nvidia/optimus and intel.
Wine Direct2D apps run fine in Wine (nvidia/optimus)
Wine OpengGL apps fail to run...

What: 32-bit libopengl*.so that corresponds to installed video driver. Many
times this library gets replaced by something else, like mesa software driver,
or old nvidia driver version.
Where: Anywhere specified in library search paths

It seems everything is at the right place...
Perhaps it is a virtualGL (bumblebee is using virtualGL as a backend) issue,
i'll have to find someone to check that.

I did run a debug test with DEBUG=+wgl
I found a wine bug about ETQW (idTech4) whick lokked the same.
Still sot a wine bug ?

There are two glxinfo results. I think the one you want is nvidia-glxinfo,
because i'm trying to run Rage with optirun (virtualGL).

I would prefer to see this reopened as valid, just clearly very system
dependent, and so therefore difficult to reproduce.

I also get exactly the same problem.

I am running Arch Linux, this report is for wine-1.4-rc2, but the same problem
has been seen with 1.3 versions.  My graphics card is an AMD HD 6950 with the
Radeon (ATI) drivers, so some versions:

Kernel: 3.2.2-1
Mesa: 7.11.2-1
GLX version: 1.4

Not sure what else to add.  The Half Life 2 Source engine runs perfectly on
this machine.  Also, I can clearly confirm that this is not peculiar to the
nVidia drivers!

I think it also has to be significant that searching for 'RAGE SetPixelFormat
failed' mostly brings up references to this bug report.

Another possibility suggested by the correspondence in this bug report is
missing lib32- components.  Of course, this is very hard to rule out, but there
is no sign of this in the Wine transcript, and as I said, Source Engine games
work.

This bug is closed. If you think that this buggy game some how works on your
ATI card - open a new bug. It will be closed as invalid as well.

FYI this game's engine has absolutely nothing to do with source engine, other
then they initially came from the same company. Rage is 100% OpenGL.

Ok, can you be clear please: are you saying that the game in question is at
fault, is the source of this bug?

If so, why does googling for the error message produced by this game only bring
up this bug report?  In other words, why does only Wine appear to provoke this
particular failure?

Have to admit that
http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2154053 (Rage Issues,
Bugs And Fixes Thread) shows *lots* of trouble with this game ... but searching
the forum for SetPixelFormat only brings up references to DOOM3, which works
perfectly on my machine (and Abe's Oddyssey, about which I know nothing).

So maybe there's something subtle here?

Because only Wine tells you what's wrong. You won't get anything on windows,
just a crash or not working game.

Ah, now, that's where you're missing a point.  The error message in question
does *not* come from Wine, it comes from the RAGE game itself.

You'll notice that right from the beginning the reporter logged both the Wine
output (rather uninformative in this particular case) together with the "RAGE
console output" (second attachment).  This output, as far as I can tell (it's
the *only* conversation I've managed to have with the game so far) is entirely
generated by the game itself and is nothing to do with Wine.  In particular
it's from *this* output that the error message "ERROR: SetPixelFormat failed"
comes; this is nothing to do with Wine.

So, I think the game *is* trying to tell us something...

In fact, we can find a lot of topics about this problem on windows. Just look
Steam forums.

Sorry, i've totally forgot this bug report.
So, since last time i've post here, i've tested on a more up-to-date computer
(AMD X2 4400+, 4Gb RAM, Nvidia 560 with latest beta drivers, on ubuntu natty
X86_64)). And... It works.

On this computer, i've played a little with libgl1-mesa-* packages and nvidia
32bit openGL line :
- If i don't put nvidia libs, it crash with this bug.
- If i put nvidia libs, the game launch and works well.
- If i do something like 'update-alternatives --remove-all
x86_64-linux_gl_conf, reinstall libgl1-mesa-* packages, the game crash with the
Setpixelformat error, again.
- If i reinstall nvidia driver with nvidia lib after that, the game will
launch.

Si, i guess the fact that the game won't launch on my laptop, is because of the
particular setup of bumblebee, who probably doesn't package nvidia openGL 32bit
compatibility libs.

Sorry if what i wrote is totally unclear. It's late here and i don't really
understand this experiment myself...

I have some news (wine 1.5.11, same nvidia Optimus m540): now KOTOR 2 (Wine
version) crashes complaining about the same Pixel Format thing, as well as Team
Fortress 2. And it seems to happen only on Optimus latops (these games launch
and run fine on a non-optimus nvidia desktop).

Could any OpenGL guru (somedy who deals with the Pixel Format commits in Wine
git) investigate this, at least to be sure this is a Bumblebee/VirtualGL issue,
and not a bug in Wine which is triggered only on optimus laptops ?

For now, I see 3 things : 1) All these games crash because something goes wrong
with the pixel format 2) This only happens on Optimus laptops 3) This only
happens in Wine, Native games run fine with Bumblebee, and many other games run
fine in Wine on Optimus laptops. For now I'm not sure all possibilities have
been examinated.

Why you don't just ask the bumblebee developers if they include 32-bit libs,
much people maybe don't even know what bumblebee is or how it works.
Meanwhile i have a look at that pixelformat stuff...

This means:
Wine asks your native OpenGL
(http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man/xhtml/glXChooseFBConfig.xml) for a
Pixelformat suitable for the needs of your Game. OpenGL response with "Computer
says No"...

My openGL setup (both Intel stack and nvidia stack) is right, as native linux
openGL games (both 32 and 64 bit) work well. These issues only happen in Wine.

Bumblebee ships with a multiarch version of VirtualGL and ensures both 32 and
64 bit versions are installed. Same with mesa, libgl* packages, and nvidia
proprietary driver.

VirtualGL dev says (in the last changelog from svn) that he fixed something
with the openGL contexts in order to let software modify pixel storage
properties, but I have to wait a few days, for Bumblebee devs to build the new
packages (I'm not sur "raw" virtualGL will work with Bumblebee, since I don't
know exactly what settings they use at build time).

New trace for Rage (Steam version), wine 1.5.11, virtualGL 2.4 pre

This is my new trace for Rage. I hope this will be more useful than the
previous one.
I still don't know what's going on here, but VirtualGl works on pbuffers, which
are transported from an xserver to the other.
VirtualGL 2.4pre should now handle openGL direct contexts, and there's still
something whrong with the "pixel format" thing, especially this part :
"warn:wgl:X11DRV_wglChoosePixelFormatARB Compatible Pixel Format not found
trace:wgl:glxdrv_wglDescribePixelFormat (0x3d4,0,40,0x1542db8)
warn:wgl:glxdrv_wglDescribePixelFormat unexpected format 0
trace:wgl:glxdrv_wglSetPixelFormat (0x3d4,0,0x1542db8)
err:wgl:glxdrv_wglSetPixelFormat Invalid iPixelFormat: 0
"
This error is shown even out of the debug mode.
