weird openGL error

    hey are there some programfags here?
    some of you are familiar with openGL nd directX ?
    i was trying to launch an old game through wine and it returned a strange openGL error :

    err:d3d7:IDirect3DImpl_7_CreateDevice The application wants to create a Direct3D device, but non-opengl surfaces are set in the registry. Please set the surface implementation to opengl or autodetection to allow 3D rendering
    err:d3d:wined3d_unregister_window Window 0x30076 is not registered with wined3d.

    someone knows what " non-opengl surfaces are set in the registry" means?
    google can't into openGL....

You're in the wrong place, friend. You want http://forum.winehq.org/

For future record, /prog/ doesn't even have any graphics programmers, it's mostly computer scientists. Graphics programmers don't talk much.

yeah...
since " non-opengl surfaces are set in the registry"  looked like a generic error, i thought someone here could know what it means....
thanks anyway.....

Poster from #2 here. I do have some idea of what it means. But I can't help you: this is the wrong place.

Nothing really prevents you from helping him (and you did, by redirecting him to winehq), since he didn't just say ``i hav dis code pls halp'', and actually googled it before posting it here, disregarding his heavily 4chan-ish accent. It's not like we have mods that care about us or something, and it's also better than the spam.

mods that care about us
I'm pretty sure that the concept of /prog/ having mods is outright fiction. I won't believe it until I see spam get purged—unless I'm supposed to believe that it is some magnificent facility, and not mere obscurity, that protects us from p3n1s 3nh4nc3m3n7?

/prog/ is a micronation inside of 4chan's borders.

MrVacBob does exist, just google him. That said, he doesn't give a shit of world4ch anymore.

Yes, and Tibet is in China. That doesn't stop the hate. Same concept.

MrVacBob hasn't been around since the marijuana spam.
