Finally wine is fixed...

Finally one irritating wine bug was fixed. Now I've just updated my wine to 1.3.3 (I had this in my port tree) with applied suggested patch. Some windows applications still don't work on my desktop (FreeBSD 8.1, xf86-video-ati-6.13.2, wine-1.3.3). However, they work on Linux and Intel integrated video adapter, but it seems I should blame ati video driver for this. It seems that Intel is the best video adapter for Unix-like system. At least, I hope Intel will not make it unusable by dropping support for no-KMS mode.

FreeBSD and wine... Progress or regression?

I've just got almost working wine on FreeBSD. To achieve this I've installed wine-1.1.30-1 from FreeBSD 8.0 package collection. Before this I unsuccessfully tried to make wine 1.2.1 work. It was impossible - it seems, later wine versions have some problems with DRI interoperability. So, after having enabled DRI on running (almost?) all DirectX games in wine on 8.1, you just get the following error:
> wine fallout2.exe
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow)
Serial number of failed request: 397
Current serial number in output stream: 399
...
However, wine 1.1.30 works with enabled DRI. It seems, that all wine versions after 1.1.43 are broken.
