wine users - Feb 2001 - fixme:ddraw:User_DirectDraw_GetCaps unsupported structure versions

Hi:

I can't get Red Alert (The old version, not Red Alert II) to work with wine.
This is suprising since the Apps
database on winehq.com has three entries that say Red Alert works.

For me the screen goes black and stays that way.  I get out of it by killing
X witn Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.

This the the error output from wine:

Invoking /opt/wine/bin/wine.bin /WIN95/westwood/redalert/ra95.exe ...
Warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry for "grey"
fixme:ddeml:DdeConnect (0x1,49161,49163,(nil)): stub

vs 380
fixme:ddraw:User_DirectDraw_GetCaps unsupported structure versions: 316/380
vs 380

If it matters, my WIN95 partition is Windows Me.  And, I using CodeWeavers
version of wine:
codeweavers-wine-20010112-1.i386.rpm

Did something change since the entries into the winehq database?  Or, am I
doing something wrong?

Thanks, George

The breakage was a result of the DirectDraw restructuring that happened when 
our 2D code was submitted to WineHQ.  This is fixed in the current AFPL-ed 
TransGaming patch, but it hasn't made it back into WineHQ yet due to some 
CVS trouble we're having.
