Hi,
I installed Wine 20050111 on my FreeBSD 6-current (freshly updated
yesterday afternoon) to play SimCity 2000.
Whenever I start the program with "wine SIMCITY.EXE", the various
start-up pop-ups appear, as well as the dialog asking if you want to
start a new city, open an old city, etc. I get the side toolbar. The
main window where you play the game is never drawn, however; it starts
off as a very small window, and when I expand it it remains blank.
Additionally, the wine, wineserver, and Xorg processes start competing
amongst themselves for CPU. CPU idle time immediately goes to 0.
The output from running wine:
# wine /home/mwlucas/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Maxis/SimCity\ 2000/SIMCITY.EXE
fixme:file:get_default_drive_device auto detection of DOS devices not supported on this platform

err:x11drv:X11DRV_CreateWindow invalid window width -16
err:x11drv:X11DRV_CreateWindow invalid window height -16
The first time I start Wine after boot, I get warnings on the console:
Warning: pid 650 used static ldt allocation
(with wine's pid in the place of 650, it varies with each boot of course)
To see if wine works at all, I tried notepad.exe from a w2k server.
It runs fine, without much CPU usage at all.
I had previously tried this with a FreeBSD-current from 12/20/04 and
Wine 20041201. That version had the same CPU usage problem, but the
main screen was actually drawn and the game could be played. The
CPU-usage-caused lag was monstrous, and aiming the mouse was a
nightmare, but it could be done.
I'm at a loss to even figure out how to debug this. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
==ml

Sheesh. :-)
