Summary: New DirectDraw hardware acceleration slow on nvidia
                    driver 100.14.19 in Starcraft
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.51.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-directx-ddraw

Outfrom from glxinfo using nvidia-drivers 100.14.19.

As I understand it, Wine can use a new way of accelerating DirectDraw, using
OpenGL, since version 0.9.47, which can be activated by setting
DirectDrawRenderer to opengl, and RenderTargetLockMode to "readtex". When I
still used Nvidia drivers 87.something, StarCraft (which uses 8 bit color) ran
perfectly smooth. However, now that I've upgraded to 100.14.19, it runs
extremely slow, but only when selecting an Overmind or an Egg. When selecting
any other building or unit, it runs as smooth as before.

When running with GDI, the game also runs slower with an Overmind selected.
However, not as slow as in OpenGL mode.

Specs:
- Gentoo Linux.
- Wine: 0.9.51 (also tested 0.9.50, which was the version I used together with
the older nvidia drivers).
- Video card: GeForce 6600 LE.
- nvidia-driver: 100.14.19
- CPU/RAM: AMD Athlon X2 3800+/2GB RAM.
- Glibc: 2.6.1.
- GCC: 4.1.2.
- Kernel: 2.6.22-gentoo-r5.

Output from glxinfo is attached.

glxinfo output from nvidia-drivers 71.86.01

I tried installing older versions of the nvidia-drivers. Unfortunately, the
87.x driver is no longer available in portage. The newest driver available to
me which doesn't make Starcraft run slow, is 71.86.01. However, it doesn't run
as smoothly as the 87.x driver did.

I attached the output of glxinfo from the 71.86.01 driver.

BTW, I don't have Composite or ARGBVisuals enabled.

The game works fast here. A week ago I tested it on a 6200 and it worked well
and also on my 7600gs (on which I test most of my ddraw-gl patches). I don't
think there is a wine bug.

When I use opengl and readtex, it looks more or less ok (scrolling fast etc)
until those little popup tooltip boxes appear (like when hovering the mouse
over command icons). Then mouse starts acting kind of strange, like being
warped or just lagging or something. Difficult to describe, but feels a bit
like it's "magnetized" to command icon. Also I can see that unit movement etc
slows down and becomes jerky while this happens with mouse. So there's high
probability this is caused by slow rendering. This makes the game very
unplayable because you need to move mouse over those areas a lot (maybe hints
off options can be found somewhere, but this indicates there may be some
problems). Nothing like that happens in gdi renderer, where everything is fine.

I've onboard GeForce6100 and nvidia binary drivers 100.14.11-4. I don't know
about  earlier driver versions, because I didn't try Starcraft with them.
