Uh, yeah. I could have told this had I known you were working on it...

I'm working on it. :-) That's okay, what I learned about Wine in the process was probably worth it. I get a little obsessed with things like this. I'd really like to get this CAD program working and it looks like the only way it's going to happen is if I find the problem and fix it myself.

I've filed bug reports and posted in all the appropriate places and there doesn't seem to be any interest. That's understandable as I'm probably the only person with this particular problem. I appreciate your input by the way - you're the only person in the entire Wine community who replied to any of my posts! Anyway, I'm going to keep poking on it until I either find a solution or get bored.

I'm using an NVidia card, so the driver is nv.

nv is the free driver?

Yes and it has no 3D hardware acceleration support.

If you don't have hardware acceleration, mesa software rendering will be
used. Before you start looking, mesa is a part of XFree86/Xorg

I've already looked around on the Mesa website and CVS but haven't found any helpful clues. My question at the moment is what piece of software is responsible for the "server glx version string: 1.2" from the glxinfo report. Is the "server" in my case Mesa or nv? The "vendor string" on both server and client is "SGI". If I can figure out which it is, then I can at least post some further questions to the appropriate forum.

I can submit a patch to do that if it's appropriate

Actually, it's even more complex. For some reason, some drivers support GLXChooseFBConfig, although they claim to be GLX v1.2. This has led to
GLXChooseFBConfig being used indiscriminately.

Got it. Okay, I won't bother with the Wine patch. Looks like I need to focus on tracking down this v1.2 server and turning it into a v1.3 server.
