So I recently did an in-place upgrade F37>F38. I had been learning WINE (staging) and it was working fine. However, today I noticed some strange behavior in wine. Using a clean prefix, when I check “Emulate a virtual desktop” in winecfg and apply it, winecfg doesn’t start anymore. Here is the error it gives:
008c:fixme:hid:handle_IRP_MN_QUERY_ID Unhandled type 00000005
002c:err:system:update_display_cache Failed to read display config.
0148:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
0148:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow L"The explorer process failed to start."

I have no Idea how to troubleshoot graphics drivers but I think something might have changed between f37 and f38. Also my gpu is pretty old and perhaps the current driver broke compatibility.
