the "Enable Desktop Double Buffering" option under Graphics->Window
settings has been removed in 0.9.28 wine release (and onwards). I was
experiencing serious performances issues when double buffering was
enabled, so I was disabling it. Now that the option is removed from
winecfg, how can I disable double buffering ?

It was removed because it is useless. I has it always "enabled" without any issues; "disabling" it doesn't make any difference for me. Only settings that make difference I did in nvidia-settings. But anyway double-buffering shouldn't give you "serious performances issues when enabled". Please tell more information: what graphics card and drivers (version) you have?

as far as I know double buffering consumes more memory (don't know if it's video or system memory though, I presume video-ram). I have a NV28 (GeForce Go 4200 TI) using the 9631 proprietary nvidia drivers. It may well be a driver issue, since it's known that these drivers have a broken turbo-cache(tm) implementation. The drivers are properly installed and the simple glxgears benchmark reports ~1200FPS (normal for this GPU and setup)

I don't have a good set of 3D apps to test. The games I've tested thus far fail completely. I've only managed to have 3DMark2001SE working (with few hiccups), but I have to disable "double buffering" otherwise its rendered useless (it only manages to complete one or two frames per test)

thank you,

Ioannis
