[PM800] When running applications in full screen mode, Wine crashes X when quitting application

[thewk]

Binary package hint: wine

When running applications in full screen, Wine crashes on application exit. Best example of this is Doom95, it seems that Wine is unable to switch between display resolutions, I run Doom 95 using 640 x 480 resolution and my desktop is 1024 x 768. When quitting Doom, window system crashes and I have to log in again. When I select "emulate desktop" from Wine settings, the game works perfectly but in 640 x 480 sized window instead of full screen.

Display adapter is Via Unichrome Pro, OS is Ubuntu 9.10, same thing happens in 9.04. I have not installed any other driver after Ubuntu installation and OpenChrome driver is in use. Glxgears works. Wine version is 1.0.1.

Please attach your Xorg.0.log file.

Add 'ls -vvnn' output to this bug

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

Sorry.
Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`.

Here is Xorg.0.log.

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

Change openchrome driver to VESA int your xorg.conf and try again.
Does it help?

[thewk (theewk)]

How can I change the driver? I now have switched from Ubuntu 9.10 to Xubuntu 9.04, but the problem still persists.

[thewk (theewk)]

OK, I have now tested Doom95 with VESA -driver and crashing does not occur with it. I tested launching, playing and quitting the game 5 times and it didn't crash at all.

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

Please build/install the latest openchrome driver and enable debug mode.
The detail instruction is available at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome

Then attach your Xorg.0.log file.
It is located at /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[thewk (theewk)]

I hope I did everything correctly, atleast no error messages were shown :)

I tried running the game 3 times, first 2 were succesful, no problems in quitting. First log is taken after second succesful quitting.

At third time X server crashed, second log is saved after I logged in again.

Please check if this patch helps you:

How can I install this patch? I tried with instructions here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome

but it complains about something...?

"fsc@fsc-laptop:~/Työpöytä$ patch -p0 < modesetting.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

Please replace your via_mode.c file, by attached file.

Attached file have applied patch modesetting.patch.

Then build and install (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome)

[thewk (theewk)]

I did replace the file and follow the instructions.

Doom95 is much more stable now than before, I tested running the game 5 times, it worked perfectly on first 4 and crashed only when quitting the game 5th time. It seems that if I play little longer Wine is able to quit without problems. However, it works better now.

Small sidenote, in instructions when it told me log out by pressing CTRL + ALT + F1 and try to start new X screen, my display went garble after I pressed the key combination. I had to restart my machine so I guess something's not right?

I tested playing GTA with Wine and it works perfectly, no crashing when quitting. I don't know anymore whether this Doom -thing is UniChrome issue, Wine issue or Doom95 issue.

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

So the problem wasn't solved.

 Please take the photo of screen after pressing CTRL + ALT + F1 and starting new X screen.

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

Try change:

  UseLegacyModeSwitch to FALSE

in via_driver.c file:

        case VIA_PM800:
            pVia->VideoEngine = VIDEO_ENGINE_CME;
            pVia->UseLegacyModeSwitch? = FALSE;
            break;

then compile and install.

Attach Xorg.0.log file

[Bartosz Kosiorek (gang65)]

Please build/install the latest openchrome driver and enable debug mode.

Even though the comments above are about OpenChrome, this bug could be a special case of bug #567963.

So I'd like to mark this bug as a duplicate of #567963. Please comment if you don't agree!
