Hi, complete new guy.
I was trying to install a game – Anno 1404 – on a Mac.
I thought I'd try and wrap it with Wine. It didn't work.
Not really being a techie, I thought I'd look in the logs to see if they said anything that might hint at what had gone wrong.
I googled each line in each log until one of the lines was the obviously fatal error.
To cut to the chase, the salient log results are:
xp_destroy_surface: assertion failed: s != NULL
xp_destroy_surface error: 3
X Error of failed request: 0
Major opcode of failed request: 148 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 26 (X_GLXMakeContextCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 3782
Current serial number in output stream: 3782
Okay, so before I run off and file a bug report, I've researched this error. It looks like it's caused by a race condition in XQuartz.
Now, I want to know more.
Where can I find out how XQuartz interacts with Wine and how do I troubleshoot XQuartz? Is there an FAQ or a tutorial somewhere?
Thank you in advance – if I'm asking the wrong group, you have my apologies and I'll try and find somewhere else.
