Additional Comments

I have an ATI Mobility X300 and uses ATI properitery drivers. These drivers does not work in 16 bpp without the -- Option "PseudoColorVisuals" "on" -- set in your xorg.conf. Syberia outputs a debug log (debug.log) which says among others: -- Selected render driver description is: 'DirectDraw HAL (T&L DX7)' Creating full-screen render context (800x600x16) -- Manually editing the config file to be 32 bit colour does not change anything really. (I know that in the game you can choose between 16 and 32 bit colours) Everything looks fine in the Syberia log except for occational -- SetGammaInternal: Unable to get gamma (alt-tabed out?) -- Switching Vertex and pixel shaders on and off does not change antyhing. Downloading and adding native "msvcrt.dll" reduces the number of fixme and warnings printed by wine. With 16bpp mode and X in 24 " WINEDEBUG=warn+dll wine Syberia.exe" says: -- fixme:win:WIN_CreateWindowEx Parent is HWND_MESSAGE fixme:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImpl_GetAvailableTextureMem (0x1a1998) : stub, simulating 64MB for now, returning 64MB left fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_SetCooperativeLevel (0x190ba8)->((nil),00000008) fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_SetCooperativeLevel (0x190ba8)->((nil),00000008) fixme:d3d:IWineD3DStateBlockImpl_Release Releasing primary stateblock fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_SetCooperativeLevel (0x190ba8)->((nil),00000008) fixme:d3d:IWineD3DStateBlockImpl_Release Releasing primary stateblock fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_SetCooperativeLevel (0x1a15d8)->(0x20024,00000008) fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_SetCooperativeLevel (0x1a15d8)->((nil),00000008) fixme:d3d:IWineD3DStateBlockImpl_Release Releasing primary stateblock fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_SetCooperativeLevel (0x1b7950)->(0x20024,00001417) fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_SetCooperativeLevel DirectDraw is not thread safe yet fixme:d3d:IWineD3DDeviceImpl_SetMultithreaded No thread safety in wined3d yet fixme:xrandr:X11DRV_XRandR_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 16 err:dsound:DSOUND_MixOne underrun on sound buffer 0x1181b08 -- The original Xorg Radeon drivers in 16 bpp does not change anything to the better.
