Failed to start Debut or PhotoStage with error "Could not initialize video output" when using WINE

By default, WINE is able to determine the amount of video memory on the graphics card. However, there are instances where it would not be able to, mostly when using proprietary drivers.

When such instance occurs, you can use the following options to fix it:

Option 1: Using Winetricks

Winetricks is a helper script for configuring WINE, as well as other things. To download winetricks, see the “Getting winetricks” section HERE.

Once you have downloaded it, add execution permission and then launch the script.

Step 1: Choose “Select the default wineprefix” and press OK.
