wine users - Jun 2008 - bug report howto pixel shader

i am running ultima online : Kingdom Reborn and if i leave the default for pixel
shader the game login screen shows a blank screen with the mouse shown but if i
goto winecfg graphics and uncheck pixel shader the game intro screen and login
screen show up and i am able to play the game as usual (with minor bugs)

what i am wondering is how do i get the info if any to report a bug ( i was
advised to report this as a bug on the #winehq irc channel ) when i run the game
from the command line the only info i get are three lines like this

fixme:d3d9:Direct3DShaderValidatorCreate9 stub

also the game requires d3dx9_30 and d3dx9_36 to be overridden for the game to
play encase that needs to be known i could use as much info here as possible
(maybe the first time i ever reported a bug)

hopefully i didn't leave anything out but please ask so i can fill the
report as best as possible

When you disable pixel shaders you force game into different code path that uses
dx6 level features and not more. So it's really not a fix.

What Wine version? What video card and drivers?

the wine version is 1.0-rc5 with an nvidia fx5200 video card with 128mb ram i
have added the regedit fix to show the correct amount of video ram in wine also
the game requires directx 9.0c

the driver is listed as 169.12 from the ubuntu 8.04 repository

wine is also set to windows xp for the windows version

As you can see their are quite a few fixmes. Now usually I would submit a bug
report except that the game did work some time ago, even getting Platinum status
in the AppDB:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10139 Reverting
to 0.9.50 dose not fix the problem which leads me to believe that something else
it causing it, not wine.
