Ok here's where I am at.. I get these errors when I just do wine program.exe
err:wave:wodDsCreate DirectSound flag not set This sound card's driver does not support direct access The (slower) DirectSound HEL mode will be used instead. fixme:mmtime:timeBeginPeriod Stub; we set our timer resolution at minimum fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel (0x403e7db8)->(00010024,00000053) fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 8 fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 8
I notice it's trying for 8 bit mode. I posted a patch a while ago to do with palette colours that was not been accepted (I'm busy right now but should get back to modifying it eventually). Try applying that and see if it fixes the problem. I've attached it. Failing that, I'd be interested in the portion of debug statements dealing with the SetTextColor call and the ExtTextOut call (if there are those calls for that particular string of text).
