i386-wine question

Greetings.
After asking a question on wineHQ I got this answer and thought I'd check here what it means:

Code:
After looking at this (which does indicate that your baseline hardware acceleration is working), I did some poking around. The issue looks like something I've run into a few times with Linux users: 32-bit compatibility. WINE needs a fully-working 32-bit graphics stack in order to provide 3D acceleration, otherwise it's going to fall back to software rendering. I haven't got any idea how to set this up in FreeBSD, as I have never used it. Your best bet may be to inquire about this on the FreeBSD forums/wiki/mailing lists. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.
 
Indeed , wine uses 32-bit virtual drivers, that's why on 64-bit linux installations you must enable the 32-bit support (in Ubuntu is called multi-arch) so to install the 32-bit gfx drivers too. Looks like that on FreeBSD we have only 64-bit gfx drivers.
 
And where is the question itself? Anyway, for Nvidia GPUs i386-wine package provides /usr/local/share/wine/patch-nvidia.sh script specifically meant for downloading 32-bit libGL.so.1 and copying it into correct location.
 
I have a radeon card..this means I need to install a 32-bit radeon driver to use wine 32-bit on my 64-bit system?
 
No, not required. Only if you want to have accelerated (3D) graphics with the application you're running through Wine.
 
I need to install a 32-bit radeon driver to use wine 32-bit on my 64-bit system?

No, not really. It's not even possible to use an actual gpu driver, that is, a kernel module, with architecture it is not compiled for. Wine only needs 32-bit userspace part of the graphics stack. In you case that would be OpenGL library from Mesa 3D project and it is already included in i386-wine package.

Code:
% pkg info -l i386-wine-staging | grep -i libgl
   /usr/local/lib32/.libGL/dri/i915_dri.so

   /usr/local/lib32/libGLU.so.1
   /usr/local/lib32/libglapi.so.0
   /usr/local/lib32/wine/libglu32.def
 
Can you please post here the winehq (irc?) question with all details? I'm not going to ask the third time and I will just ignore this thread otherwise.
 
The question is based on this output on my 64-bit FreeBSD with i386-wine. Why do all my favorite games lag!

In particular I've tried Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Online and Dungeons & Dragons Ebberon Unlimited....thus far
 
Ok, thanks. According to the FreeBSD wiki Radeon driver from FreeBSD 11 doesn't support hardware acceleration for Pitcairn GPUs. What you are seeing is a fallback on the software renderer from Mesa. There exists drm-next-kmod port providing up-to-date Amd and Intel GPU drivers, but it requires FreeBSD-CURRENT, which is a development branch of the operating system.
