I am trying to get one of my kids Windows CDROM based programs to work under Linux/wine. With Google and man pages I got past some problems, but now the application starts and then exists saying that it want 256 colours to run best !! (It does the same on Win98 until you set the screen to 256 colours, then it is OK. But with Linux I thought I could find a better solution !) I have X normally running at 24 bits, with 16 and 8 bit entries in my XFree86 config. Reading the docs I added this to my .wine/config [AppDefaults\\oshof32.exe\\x11drv] "ScreenDepth" = "8" "PrivateColorMap" = "Y" I then run: export WINEDEBUG=+palette wine oshof32.exe Amongst the output I get: trace:palette:CreatePalette entries=20 trace:palette:CreatePalette returning 0x44 trace:palette:X11DRV_PALETTE_Init initializing palette manager... trace:palette:X11DRV_PALETTE_Init visual class 4 (1) trace:palette:GetPaletteEntries hpal = 0x44, count=20 trace:palette:GetSystemPaletteEntries hdc=0x7c,start=0,count=0 ... trace:palette:GetSystemPaletteEntries hdc=0x13a8,start=0,count=10 trace:palette:GetSystemPaletteEntries hdc=0x13a8,start=246,count=10 trace:palette:CreatePalette entries=256 trace:palette:CreatePalette returning 0x13c0 trace:palette:GDISelectPalette 0x13c4 0x13c0 trace:palette:GDIRealizePalette 0x13c4... trace:palette:GDIRealizePalette realized 0 colors. ... To me "CreatePalette entries=256" looks good, but the "GDIRealizePalette realized 0 colors." does not (it appears 8 times). Any clues !! (I got another CDROM program to work OK: so the wine is basically setup OK.) (x86, Suse 9.1 + wine-20050419-0.1.i586.rpm) TIA, Simon -- Simon Kellett, | Gentoo Linux, Fvwm, Firefox Darmstadt, Germany | Xemacs, Vm, Gnu _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
