Hi,
When running the Wine Test Shell to run the tests as part of http://test.winehq.org/, there are several timeouts in different places.
These may be valid timeouts, but on my Vista test machine ddraw:d3d and msi:install generate the timeout message box part way through the test run, even though they continue and complete. Those tests are just slow.
If you don't have a 3D accelerator(e.g. running in a VM), the ddraw d3d and visual tests will attempt to use the RGB software rendering device, which *is* slow. Running the visual test takes a few minutes instead of a few secounds.
These are running on a decent spec Vista machine that is not running through VM.
I don't know if 3D acceleration is on; it looks like it is off (the colour gradiant sweep tests take a while to flick through). This is strange though, because it is the default configuration for the Vista machine and games like Oblivion and Command and Conquer 3 play fine (but those are using D3D, not DDraw).
Do you know how to turn 3D acceleration on in Vista?
That said, Wine Test Shell should accept this as a valid test run and not timeout.
