Posted: Sun Jun 23, 2002 5:09 pm Post subject: Getting acceptable perfomance on WineX |
|
|
I'm currently trying to get WineX working on my box. I used emerge to download and compile the source (I'm not building from CVS), and I'm trying to get it to work with a relatively old game (Starcraft). However, the performance is unacceptable. I have a Radeon 7200 and an Athlon 1333, SBLive and I'm using Alsa. Window manager is blackbox.
The game runs fine, sound is smooth, but graphics and latency are horrible. I'm getting maybe 8 fps and the cpu is being utilized quite thoroughly:
11232 ust 25 0 103M 33M 7924 R 39.7 4.3 0:48 wine
18356 ust 15 0 896 896 656 R 33.5 0.1 0:36 wineserver
32723 root 15 0 99.0M 25M 3724 S 21.0 3.3 0:42 X
31367 ust 25 0 103M 33M 7924 R 2.8 4.3 0:13 wine
I'm using direct rendering according to glxinfo, and I have the double buffer turned on in the wine config file. I can't seem to get it to run fullscreen, but I've heard that people get better results from running windowed anyway. I'm using 2.4.19-gentoo-r7 kernel with XFS and lowlatency patch installed, but not currently on. I've tried almost everything I can think of, and I'm stumped. Has anyone resolved these types of problems? |

I'm not sure if the game your trying to play uses DirectX or OpenGL, but from my experiences of gaming in linux wine is faster than winex on OpenGL games.
If possible emerge wine and try it instead. _________________ This message self destructed a long time ago. |

This is for DirectX. Wine doesn't support battle.net, so I need WineX. I was able to get it working fullscreen by changing my refreshrates in XF68Config. However, there is still slowdown. Reading the forums at www.transgaming.com leads me to believe that this is a kernel issue. Has anyone had success at running Starcraft using WineX while using the gentoo-sources r7 kernel? I'm running XFS if that makes any difference. |

1 : make sure the kind of game you are running arn't getting horrible frame rates for some reason.
2 : sounds VERY much like you have conflicting opengl drivers or something (that WILL kill framerate), you'll need to resolve those.
try getting the quake demo for windows and linux and compare the performance, you should be getting great fps in say 640x480 (and in 1280x1024 for that sake, but lets stick with 640x480 for testing ) |
