[SOLVED] Gallium Direct3d9 and wine

ahc_fan · 01-13-2016, 12:30 PM

As I understand it mesa now includes a native implementation of direct3d9. So does wine take advantage of this by default, or do we still need the wine-staging patches? How can I tell if direct3d is enabled/in use?

EDIT: Sorry, replied before realizing that you were asking about Gallium. I don't know the answer to that.

If you're just asking about Direct3D support, it's a standard part of Wine 1.8.

Neither staging nor default wine support native DirectX9.

You need wine-nine for that.

I have a SlackBuild here which combines wine 1.7.53, wine-staging and wine-nine:

It may work with newer versions, too. But since I switched to an Intel GPU I can't test it anymore.

It only works with AMD and NVidia cards (Intel with the ilo driver, but it's still very buggy). If you run an application from the terminal, it will tell you if it's activated or not.

OK then, I thought wine-nine was part of staging. Your slackbuild works great with 1.9.1. Thanks a bunch for that!

Rebuild Mesa with the ilo driver and it will support Intel chipsets.

True, but the performance isn't really good.

Yes, but ilo is the only Gallium based driver for Intel and nine requires Gallium.

It's a poor trade, but until it gets up to speed, ilo is the only option.

Did you build this yourself? I have problems getting nine to work.

I've rebuilt mesa with

Code:

GALLIUM_DRIVERS="ilo"

for 32bit and 64bit.

I also created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf with this content:

Code:

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Device0"
 Driver "Intel"
 Option      "DRI"    "ilo"
EndSection

LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo | grep DRI shows that DRI3 is activated, yet I still can't get it running in wine:

Code:

err:d3dadapter:dri3_create_adapter9 Unable to create ID3DAdapter9 (fd=159)
err:d3d9:d3dadapter9_new No available native adapters in system.

What am I missing?

Shouldn't

Code:

 Driver "Intel"

actually be

Code:

 Driver "intel"

?

Often you might be able to get away with the xorg.conf.d files but when you're trying to find out why something is or isn't working a full xorg.conf might be useful.

Run xorgsetup and it should autogenerate a full xorg.conf in /etc/X11 that can be edited as needed with a full setup to tinker with for debugging.

Also have you rebuilt wine with the wine-nine add-on?
