 Posted: Sat Sep 21, 2002 9:31 pm Post subject: Full Screen Wine Games (Warcraft III) |
 |
|
Is it possible to fullscreen a wine game (such as, oh say, Warcraft III)? I have DGA enabled but I still only get the dimensions specified as my managed desktop size, and it doesn't fullscreen but simply takes up the top left quarter of my screen.
Relevant parts of /etc/X11/XF86Config:

Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
Load "extmod" # Miscellaneous extensions
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"

Driver "nvidia"

Relevant parts of ~/.wine/config:

[x11drv]
"AllocSystemColors" = "100"
"PrivateColorMap" = "N"
"PerfectGraphics" = "N"
"Managed" = "Y"

"UseDGA" = "Y"
"UseXShm" = "Y"

"DesktopDoubleBuffered" = "Y"
"TextCP" = "0"

;;"Synchronous" = "Y"

And finally, my /dev/mem permissions:

Quake III works fine (i.e. I can start it in fullscreen mode and it resizes the screen to my desired quaking resolution). Is wine simply unable to take control of my screen even with DGA?
Also, does anyone have any speed tips for wine/Warcraft III?  My install of WCIII isn't as fast as it was under Windows (understandably) but I would like to eek every bit of speed out of it that I can... |

Just a little tip at the end of the day:
I created a second XF86Config - optimized for games (1 correct resolution -> no changes possible, 16 bit depth, 3D-driver (nvidia), less fonts etc). And when I click on CS it starts a second Xserver using this config on console 8. Then I can switch between the game and working with CTRL-ALT-F{7|8} without loosing key- or mousefocus in wine...
OK, that was it: good night (or morning/or day/or evening)  |

How would I go about making warcraft III run on that second xserver?
When I issue the following command:
| Quote: | | xinit ~/wc -- -xf86config XF86Config-games :8 |
where wc is a script that starts warcraft III:
| Quote: | #!/bin/sh
wine "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\war3.exe" -- -opengl |
the second xserver starts up but warcraft starts on my old session on vt7. How can I force warcraft to start on the new server?
It might be interesting to note that I am completely unable to run /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc or ~/.xinitrc (i.e. nothing in either of those files *ever* gets executed. Ever. It's very frustrating.) and I start my main session with 'startx' and rely on /etc/rc.d's conf option to start kde. (Which should get overridden with an ~/.xinitrc...) |

Finally I'm at my PC where I can copy/paste...
~/bin/cs
| Code: | XINITRC=""
xinit /home/meyerm/bin/cswine -- :1 -xf86config XF86Config.nvidia |
~/bin/cswine
| Code: | cd "/home/meyerm/.wine/c/Program Files/HalfLife/"
wine hl.exe -- hl.exe -game cstrike |
This should work as expected. You have the following differences:
1. You are starting on X nr. 8! I meant the hmm... normal console? The first 6 consoles are used by getty (see /etc/inittab), therefore your X:0 starts at console 7. And X:1 at console 8.
2. You should always start inside of the gamedir. (Doesn't matter for you now, but I had severe problems with some games getting started in the wrong dir).

Well, using :1 instead of :8, the session still starts up on vt8 (as expected) but now instead of having Warcraft start on :0 (vt7) I get errors: | Quote: |

AUDIT: Sun Sep 22 11:52:47 2002: 6355 X: client 1 rejected from local host
Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server

Sorry for being so difficult, but I have been scouring google for a few days now trying to get this to work and everyone seems to have a solution that doesn't work in my case... For this problem, 'xhost +' has come up as a solution. While I *really* hate running 'xhost +' and only slightly dislike running 'xhost +localhost', I have tried both just to get the same error message. I seem to think that there is some /etc file that controls virtual terminal connections but I can't find it (and I might be thinking of FreeBSD or Solaris). Anyone have any tips?  |

Try this:
| Code: | xauth add $(xauth list | sed s/:0/:1/ | grep unix)
xauth add $(xauth list | sed s/:0/:1/ | grep -v unix) |
Afterwards, it should work... It should... |

|

Enter at command prompt logged in as the user..
Replace workstation with your hostname (darkstar, localhost, whatever)
the :1 is for the 2nd xserver.. :0 is the first..
a32345 is just a random hex value for the key. use whatever hex
value you want.
xauth add workstation/unix:1 . a32345
xauth add workstation:1 . a32345
This should fix you up for the above for running dual x-servers |
