Public bug reported: Wine (1:1.6.2-0ubuntu6) works fine on my notebook's integrated display, but stops drawing on an external monitor. A wine application still runs and receives input, but its window is simply frozen. Moving the window onto the border clearly shows how the left half redraws while the right half doesn't.
This affects not just specific applications but EVERY wine application/window, including even the ones that ship with wine like winecfg, regedit or explorer.exe. I suspect this might be related to nvidia's Optimus: The external display is connected directly to the graphics card, while the the notebook screen's image is passed through the Intel GPU. I'm using the proprietary nvidia-331 (331.113-0ubuntu0.1) driver and nvidia-prime, no bumblebee. I'm running Ubuntu 14.10, but apparently the problem exists on 14.04 as well: https://askubuntu.com/questions/601375/wine-not-working-on- external-monitor ** Affects: wine (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1469449 Title: Wine windows don't draw on external monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/1469449/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
