After running Dune 2000 with Wine (which switches back to 800x600 or so,
I'm normally using 1600x1200), all windows that were on my desktop are
suddenly in the top left corner, as if the WM (Metacity) tried to place
them in the 800x600 window or something.
This is really quite annoying!
Well, you could try to use winecfg to disable XRandR or something, then
that shouldn't happen.
I could not find that, but I did find the option to let it used a
Windowed desktop. It comes with other disadvantages though:
- full screen games like Dune 2000 only give a tiny 800x600 (or so) window
- in Dune 2000, you can scroll the screen by moving the cursor to the
screen edges. This hardly works if you cursor keeps getting out of the
window. Even with the winecfg setting to let it not go out of the window.
Also, I noticed that Wine hung a lot (with a stuttering sample) if I
choose "ALSA" sound in winecfg. I turned back to OSS, although I'm
running an ALSA kernel (stock 2.6.15).
Thanks for your suggestion though. On the other hand: isn't this just a
bug? I never saw the problem for other software that siwtches to full
screen.
