[Bug 27234] New: [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27234

Summary: [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in
                    an infinite loop.
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Xorg infinte loop when running Wine + EvE-Online and fglrx. This seems to be
the only way I triggered this error.

Happens on the same spot all the time in EVE-Online (when trying to log into
char) and to stop the xorg loop i have to kill the wineprocess with ssh from
another device.

This has been an issue for many players and seems to be draging even from fglrx
9.10 drivers to latest 11.5. So this may be a wine.

The only problem with that reasoning is that nVidia must have found a
workaround to Wine's bad behaviour right from the start and have continued to
provide this level of support ever since.

And then there are those that have, thanks to Ravow's work with the ATI open
source drivers, added certain texture compression functionality and
successfully used both ATI and Intel GPUs to play Eve with no such lockups.

I think AMD are the ones who need the rev-up.

"EQ overflowing" happens when the X server stops processing events, typically
because a driver is e.g. stuck in a loop or waiting for the result of an ioctl.
This is almost certainly a bug in fglrx. There's a very small chance it's in
the X server itself, but I doubt it. It's not a Wine bug, by definition. Even
if Wine does something wrong here, it's not allowed to lockup the X server.

Understood, but if its a fglrx issue, is there a way to make wine avoid the
issue why it gets into the loop. This loop issue only occurs when clicking log
in on the char and its loading up the 3d station environment/space.

Sometimes it happens not so frequent but last time when trying to debug a
wine-git i had 11 out of 13 launches that ended up in a Xorg loop.

@evanh

Your post suggests a workaround.
Could you be so kind to provide this workaround or a link towards it ?
I can't seem to find it in the eve-online appdb entry.
