Afraid I'm also a total wine noob but I'm learning. Have you given a thought or attempt to these registry tweaks? They seem to apply to rendering methods, framebuffer is mentioned. http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys clipping: Code: +-Direct3D | | | +->DirectDrawRenderer | | [Select what backend to use for DDraw. Valid options are: | | gdi - Use GDI to draw on the screen (slow but reliable) (default) | | opengl - Use OpenGL (fast but not all programs work correctly) | | see http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectDraw for more information] | | | +->RenderTargetLockMode | | [Selects which mode is used to read and write the framebuffer while it is locked. | | auto: same as readdraw at the moment, will do benchmarks and use best method later(default) | | disabled: effectively disables render target locking | | readdraw: uses glReadPixels for reading, glDrawPixels for drawing | | readtex: reading with glReadPixels, drawing by drawing a textured quad | | texdraw: readback using a texture, drawing with glDrawPixels | | textex: readback using a texture, drawing with a textured quad | | see http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectDraw for more information] | | | +->OffscreenRenderingMode | | [Selects which mode is used to render offscreen images/textures. | | backbuffer: the rendering is done in the backbuffer (default) | | pbuffer: uses PixelBuffers | | fbo: uses Framebuffer object]
