There is indeed a HDMI connector besides the two DVI. A small one, probably a mini HDMI. The card is several years old and I have forgotten the specs. The documentation seems to be on a CD. In form of windows programs. Bah. The new monitor came with a HDMI cable. I will have to obtain a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable or an adapter to try. But I doubt the result will help. Consider that using wine-vanilla-4.01 all resolutions appear as choice in the games. I have visited WineHQ and subscribed to a forum there, Wine Help. Of course it is moderated and of course the first three postings need approval from a moderator. Takes time. In old times there was a news group with the name wine-user. It was abandoned years ago in favor of a forum. Grrr. If there is no improvement, then I would look into feeding a custom >EDID file for the new monitor to the kernel and see if WINE performance >improves.
