Re: [gentoo-user] wine'ing some games
Hi Redeeman, I had this problem when getting warcraft 3 to work. I'm not sure that this is the best solution, but I solved it by running the game on a new X server with the resolution that the game runs in. I wanted it to run by simply typing 'war3', and to exit cleanly when I exited the game. To do this I did the following: 1. Edit /etc/X11/XF86Config to add another screen section with the settings for warcraft. This is just another Screen section after my existing one, which looks like this: Section Screen Identifier 1024x768x16 Device nvidia gf2mx Monitor NEC XP21 DefaultDepth 16 Subsection Display Depth 16 Modes 1024x768 800x600 640x480 ViewPort0 0 EndSubsection EndSection The important part is the 'Identifier', which I'll use later. The other settings should be similar to your existing Screen section/s. 2. Add a file to /etc/X11/Sessions which is where gentoo's startx script looks for windowmanagers. The file, called 'war3' contains the following: #!/bin/sh cd /home/ajc/.wine/fake_windows/Games/Warcraft\ III /usr/bin/wine -- War3.exe -opengl Basically all this does is execute the command to start warcraft. 3. Add the file /usr/local/bin/war3 containing: #!/bin/bash XSESSION=war3 startx -- :1 -screen 1024x768x16 This starts the new X server on display :1 (the default server is on :0) with the 1024x768x16 screen and runs warcraft. It shouldn't be too hard to adapt this approach to other games. Actually, now that I look at it, it's probably better to do steps 2 and 3 with one shell script that calls xinit with the right arguments, but I know this way works so I'll stick to it for now. Let me know if you find a better way around this problem. --Alex On 15:35 Sat 08 Nov , Redeeman wrote: hi, i am trying to wine pocket tanks, and it starts okay, but it sets lower resolution, but it doesent change resolution correct, because it does the same as ctrl + alt + '-' so that it still has 1600x1200, but only views 800x600, and the rest is scrollable, and then when i move the mouse in the wined game, it goes out of the 800x600 and then it fucks up, is there any way to fix this? -- Regards, Redeeman () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\- against microsoft attachments -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] wine'ing some games (OT)
Matt, Here's a new concept for you: If you want people to respect you, then try to respect them. If you don't respect others, you deserve what you get. It's your choice. In public, people normally follow a code of rules called 'ethics'. In private you can do whatever you like. I think THIS is fair.

In return, I can say whatever I want. It seems fair enough to me. It's your choice whether or not you swear, and whether or not you shelter your children from it. But don't force that choice on me or others. (Filter those words from yours/their system. That's not too hard to accomplish, and you're taking responsibility for your own actions as opposed to others.) - -- Matt http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x7D81740A -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/rR6RZosHVX2BdAoRAjt8AJ9pbVz8O2VPGoBpTUH/igINKR7P/gCdG4Px Ccc6SIfxtG60NlSTGWVGf5w= =LS5G -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
