wine users - Jan 2010 - DxDiag not working - Wine 1.1.35 + Ubuntu 9.10

wine dxdiag.exe spews a few fixme messages (Related to ALSA drivers) and then
exits. No Window, no error messages. Till now, this wasn't a problem
(several games ran fine) but when I tried installing a legacy game (Grand Prix
World by Microprose), it could not detect my graphics card. Tried DxDiag but it
isnt working.

Any help will be much appreciated, thanks.

Yeah, it's an empty app / placeholder.

What is your video card and drivers? What does it say in the terminal when you
starting the game?

(Sorry for the late reply, and a Happy New Year to all :P )

Graphics Card is a Intel GM 945. Most games are working (like Fifa Manager 10
with the usual caveats, Knights of Honor etc.)

When running the GFxConfig for Grand Prix World, I find the following console
output :
fixme:d3d_caps:init_driver_info Unhandled vendor 8086.
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f4ac,0x00000000), stub!

fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f254,0x00000000), stub!

(and at this point, the app says "Initialization Failed")

I presumed DxDiag would be able to shed light on why my vendor is 8086 (at least
I can verify that 8086 corresponds to Intel 945Gm etc.) I have also used
winetricks to install Dx9 (suitably overriding builtin dlls). DxDiag still does
nothing. Any help will be appreciated.

Get real video card. That is not one of those.
