The DIB engineThe DIB enginePosted Mar 8, 2012 5:28 UTC (Thu) by eru (subscriber, #2753)In reply to: Wine 1.4 released by krakensden Parent article: Wine 1.4 released I wonder if this finally fixes one longstanding issue that Wine has with some old Windows programs? Now if the program is written for a 8-bit bit depth, Wine runs it only if the X11 display depth is also 8-bits. This can be worked around by running Wine inside a nested X11 display created with Xephyr, but it is very awkward. (Found this when at one time I used Wine a lot to "package" many old children's CD-ROM games for my son so that he could start them with one click from the Linux desktop. Many titles needed the Xephyr hack).

The 8-bit X11 display problem is still there even after the DIB engine update. At least they fixed the mouse problems that had me disabling Xinput2 during compilation.
I ran into both of those problems because of kids CD-ROM games as well.
