Summary: Running WINE causes video card to shutdown Product: Wine Version: 20040408 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: wine@vrai.net
Running a program under wine results in the video card ceasing all output. The video card no longer feeds any signal to the monitor - the monitor believes that the machine is switched off. This only occurs if wine is attempting to display a window, wine runs fine when displaying console information only. Only the video card appears to be affected, the system can still be used remotely and even KDE appears to remain running.
Wine runs without error if it is using a remote display (via X) or a local XVNC session. No errors are present in the system logs.
The same error occurs if wine is started from an ssh terminal, but exported to the local display (export DISPLAY=:0.0).
