So if I start a VNC server with the following command:
vncserver :1 -depth 16 -geometry 1024x768
Then notepad crashes on startup while initializing OpenGL. More precisely the crash happens in X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo() on line 304 of winex11.drv/opengl.c. The reason for the crash is an OpenGL/X11 assertion:
glxcmds.c:343: CreateContext: Assertion "mode != ((void *)0)" failed
This seems like a VNC/OpenGL/X11 bug because Wine works fine if VNC is started in 15bpp or 24bpp. Still, the problem is that as this is part of the winex11 initialization it impacts all applications (including the DIB conformance tests).
Does anyone see a way to avoid the crash? (maybe detect VNC before that call, but how?)
Note: I'm using VNC 4.1.1+X4.3.0-2. Here's the xdpyinfo output in that mode:
