[Bug 10115] New: Wine should restore the initial graphics mode if an application exits abnormally

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10115

Summary: Wine should restore the initial graphics mode if an
                    application exits abnormally
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS/GIT
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-kernel
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Sometimes DirectX applications crash and leave your desktop with a changed
resolution e.g. 640x480. This shouldn't happen - wine should restore the
initial graphics mode if an application exited abnormally.

Right now you have to `xrandr -s 0` or use any other utility.

I agree that this should be done, but the problem is that if we crash, we're
crashed... Doing anything after a crash is a bit tricky.

Maybe the DLL unload handler still runs after a crash, but I am not sure about
it. Furthermore doing anything with messed up data structures in the process
may be a bit tricky. Maybe it can be done in Wineserver, and I think that's
close to what Windows does.

I suppose, Alexander can find or propose where to insert such functionality ;-)

Sorry for flooding, but wineserver usually keeps running after an application
exited, so we can make it 'watchdog' resolution recovery.

Wine server is not GUI app and does not even have connection to X. Should be
really fixed in the place that crashes to not crash. On windows you get the
same result...

In Windows graphics applications crash rarely - and speaking frankly, you're
lying: when you kill a hanging application using Task Manager then your desktop
resolution will be restored automatically.

In other words it is *Wine* that is changing resolutions, so Wine has to revert
to your normal desktop setup.

If an app on Windows crashes, I mean really crashes, not beeing terminated with
the task manager, the resolution is restored too. I had this quite often with
my d3d test app. It even works when terminating the app with ctrl+c

Probably the component should be set to user32 since ChangeDisplaySettings
is a user32 API, and an app which changes display mode is not necessary
a game.

I would think Windows keeps track of display settings per app, because
alt+tabbing switches resolution as well. If an app crashes then, some other
will get activated and the resolution is "restored".

This should be handled at the window manager level. You should lobby
freedesktop.org guys to add a standard for that...

Such a request may take ages. freedesktop guys often completely neglect the
bugs filed into their bugzilla.

You have to try it first before claiming that Wine needs a workaround.

OK, let us leave it as is waiting patiently for other guys to come up with a
solution in two or maybe five years. A solution which is relevant for the only
application because Wine is the only Linux/X11 application which changes
graphics resolutions and have no means of restoring it automatically upon its
_own_ crash.

Wrong, ppracer doesn't even restore the resolution if it is killed with a plain
SIGTERM. Just one counter-example.
