[pkg-wine-party] Bug#675057: libwine-gl-unstable: OpenGL Performance issues on amd64: "err:winediag:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo Direct rendering is disabled"

[Linus Lüssing]

Package: libwine-gl-unstable
Version: 1.3.15-0.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm seeing the following line in the output of wine:
---
err:winediag:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo Direct rendering is disabled
---

Which in some games affects the performance quite badly.

I could get rid of that error by:
* Following http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO to install the i386
  architecture
* Installing libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 with aptitude
* Running wine like:
  LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/ wine [yourapp]

I guess steps like this might be handy having handled in the wine-unstable
install process automatically.

I'm on a 64bit system, both kernel- and userspace. I'm using the Open
Source nouveau graphics driver with a GeForce 8600M GT.

Cheers, Linus
