Summary: Simcity 4 does not start at all.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.32
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When I try to start simcity 4, the following errors are reported. Then the game
simply quits.

./SimCity\ 4.exe -d:software
fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 94
(SPI_GETMOUSETRAILS)

the issue started after upgrading wine from 1.1.28 to 1.1.31.

I've seen reports that simcity 4 works on 1.1.31 from appDB. but it simply
doesn't work for me.

The computer is a 32bit centrino. Dist is Fedora 11.

Please let me know if I any bt is needed.

(winedbg doesn't work with Simcity on my computer either, it starts with a
crash)

Hi, there is some mishmash between versions. Above 1.1.32 and you write about
1.1.31?

SimCity 4 (@SW renderer) works for me on nVidia in all the following versions:
 * 1.1.31
 * 1.1.32
 * 1.1.33
 * 1.1.33-301-gd963e97

Isn't it ATI issue? (Allocating 16 x 16 radeon RBO)

In appDB the most recent report I saw was 1.1.31. New tests may have been
posted but I didn't see.

I am currently experiencing the issue with 1.1.32.

It is a KMS(kernel display mode setting) issue.

The workaround for me is to add nomodeset to kernel boot parameters.

I looked back into the package history:

Anything older than 1.1.18 works, with/without nomodeset in kernel
Anything newer than 1.1.18 doesn't work without nomodeset parameter.

It might be some changes since 1.1.18 triggers bugs in radeon KMS code.
It would be really nice if any wine experts can locate the problem and report
it to KMS.

You could find the commit that introduced the problem with KMS using git
bisect, http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting - it might indicate the issue.

This is known bug in ATI drivers on Fedora.
