Summary: Wine crashes computer when Shared video changes Product: Wine Version: 0.9.29. Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P3 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: morgan_jay@bellsouth.net
Affects all versions I tested from 9.27 to 9.29.
Shared video was recently changed from 32 to 64 MB. Everything worked ok, but more RAM was needed for main system memory, rather than graphics, so the Shared memory was reduced back to 32MB. However, as soon as computer was rebooted with new Shared memory settings, wine will not run. When wine runs, it (on this system anyway) gives the error "libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x46" 2x before the app launches, but when it launches it works fine. After reducing the shared RAM, it gave the error 1x, and then the system froze - no keybd, no mouse, can't use ctrl+alt+F2 to get to console - only recourse is a hard reset. Took me hours (reinstalling versions of wine mostly) to figure out the problem. After changing BIOS settings back to 64MB shared, wine runs fine. I would like to be able to change the BIOS settings without Wine causing my entire system to bomb.
