Update wine to latest version

[glennvl]

Summary

Update to the latest wine version.

Note: Newer wine versions default to EGL instead of GLX for OpenGL.

Implementation

• Update wine installation procedure according to https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Debian-Ubuntu
• Add mesa-utils for graphics test tools: glxgears, eglgears_wayland, eglgears_x11
• Add nvidia egl xcb and xlib libraries and select egl external platform automatically
• Add WINE_DISABLE_EGL option

Status

Note:

• Tested on a system with NVidia RTX 4080 Super and NVidia proprietary drivers.
• Tested on a system with AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT (16GB) graphics card.

Graphics tests

• glxgears: works
• eglgears_wayland: works, but window border fails to render
• eglgears_x11: works

Zwift (podman)

wine with egl (default)

• zwift installer: does not render properly, but manages to install zwift
• zwift with wayland: works (with the known wayland limitations)
• zwift with xwayland: works out of the box on the AMD graphics system
• zwift with xwayland: works with extra configuration on the NVIDIA graphics system

To make egl work on nvidia systems, select xcb or xlib (either works)

foo@bar:~$ VERBOSITY=3 WINE_DISABLE_EGL=0 INTERACTIVE=1 ./src/build-image.sh
foo@bar:/$ export __EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/local/share/egl/egl_external_platform.d/20_nvidia_xcb.json
foo@bar:/$ entrypoint

foo@bar:~$ VERBOSITY=3 WINE_DISABLE_EGL=0 INTERACTIVE=1 ./src/build-image.sh
foo@bar:/$ export __EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/local/share/egl/egl_external_platform.d/20_nvidia_xlib.json
foo@bar:/$ entrypoint

wine with glx

wine reg.exe add 'HKCU\Software\Wine\X11 Driver' /v UseEGL /d N

• zwift installer: does not work (but this is not a blocking issue)
• zwift with wayland: works (with the known wayland limitations)
• zwift with xwayland: works

Zwift (docker)

wine with egl (default)

• XWayland works with egl

• Native Wayland does not work with egl, crash with opengl error.

  

wine with glx

Does not work, fallback to software rendering.

libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen
libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen
libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen
libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen
libEGL warning: failed to open /dev/dri/card1: Permission denied

Todo

• Test with ati/intel drivers
• Figure out how to make egl work on amd
• Figure out how to make egl work on nvidia
• When using native Wayland on nvidia, there are still egl failed to create dri2 screen warnings
• When using egl on nvidia, there are errors egl_init Failed to find required extension EGL_KHR_client_get_all_proc_addresses
• Wayland does not work with docker when using egl
• XWayland does not work with docker when using glx

FYI: there is wine 11.6 available now

FYI, i just tested this branch (updated to wine 11.9 though otherwise couldn't build). I ran build-image.sh which automatically (and successfully) launched zwift (bit unexpected hehe).

I can confirm that the zwift installer for the most part shows a white UI (with a progress bar).

I then podman exec'd into the running container and ran your graphics test, which all worked without issue.

My GPU: AMD 9070 XT on bazzite linux.

How can i test the following:

zwift with wayland: works (with the known wayland limitations)
zwift with xwayland: does not work (falls back to software rendering)

?

Questions:

A) what's the default launch of zwift (wayland, xwayland, x11)? How can i influence it? I only know about the wayland variable
B) how to determine if software rendering is used?

Thank for your help.

On a wayland system it defaults to xwayland, on a xorg system it default to x11.

You can set WINE_EXPERIMENTAL_WAYLAND=1 to use native wayland instead of xwayland on a wayland system.

B) how to determine if software rendering is used?

Zwift will run at an extremely low fps. 🙂

If you want to see an in-game fps counter, you can set gShowFPS=1, see https://netbrain.github.io/zwift/configuration/graphics/#how-can-i-accessmodify-the-graphics-settings for how to do that.

@netbrain @BreiteSeite I've finally made some progress to make egl work

• I've done a successful one hour ride yesterday on my amd graphics system with wine 11.10 and egl
• I'm able to run zwift on my development machine (nvidia graphics) with wine 11.10 and egl, by manually selecting the egl external platform

Wow, great stuff!

Now if we could only get the wine team to actually implement a working bluetooth driver aswell, then this would be a 10/10 project.
