Summary: startx -- :1 -depth 8 yields black screen in desktop window mode Product: Wine Version: 1.1.25 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winex11.drv AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: hoehle@users.sourceforge.net
It seems Wine does not correctly set the palette when opening its window in a 8bpp display. Every time its window is activated, it installs a completely black palette.
To reproduce: - In e.g. Ubuntu Intrepid, switch to a terminal with e.g. ctrl-alt-F3 - startx -- :1 -depth 8 should yield a working desktop. Otherwise your graphics card may not be able to support the ancient 8bit modes. An on-board Intel i915 works. Alternatively, logout of your gdm/kdm session if you fear being logged in twice may harm your Gnome/KDE configuration, then start the X server. - Use Ctrl-Alt-F3/F7/F8/F9 to switch consoles. - Open a terminal window. - glxgears works. Note the change of screen colors when changing focus from one window to another -- people were used to that on X consoles 20 years ago. - wine winecfg causes a completely black screen if set to desktop window mode. - Use Alt-Tab to (blindly) switch to another window (e.g. the terminal): the colors are restored, and the winecfg window inside the desktop window appears normally (except for strange colours, as for all other windows except the currently focused one). Click in the wine window and everything becomes black again.
In full-screen mode, winecfg opens normally (colours of all other screen contents change, which is "normal" with 8bpp with X).

--- Comment #1 from Jörg Höhle hoehle@users.sourceforge.net 2009-08-11 11:39:08 --- winecfg is a placeholder. Any executable causes a black screen.
Your can play card-like games this way if you are crazy (e.g. winemine): click into your terminal window to see something; position your mouse over wine's desktop window where you need to click; click (screen turns black); use alt-tab to return to another window; repeat. In other words, applications generally work, except everything is black.
A +ddraw,+d3d,+d3d_surface trace is not attached because it simply remains empty when starting solely winecfg.

--- Comment #6 from Jörg Höhle hoehle@users.sourceforge.net 2011-09-06 08:17:59 CDT --- Still present in wine-1.3.26 with Ubuntu Intrepid. Another strange effect: if I start metacity after xterm and wine, switching to wine's desktop window will not turn everything black. Instead the screen behaves like a monochrome one and some of winecfg's tab content is visible, as well as xterm's and xclock's content (all B&W despite ls' colourful listing).
Activating xterm's window and all colors look normal again, even Wine's about glass (except 8bpp is not enough to render all its red gradient).

--- Comment #7 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2013-11-13 16:50:16 CST --- This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 2 years. Is this still an issue in current (1.7.6 or newer) wine? If so, please attach the terminal output in 1.7.6 (see http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log).
