 Posted: Mon Dec 11, 2006 1:35 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] How can I play using Wine in another X display? |
 |
|
Hi,
I have this game that when I stop playing, my desktop resolution is 640x480.
I believe playing in another X display may solve, but I don't remember how to do it, and I'm not finding it (I've STFW and TFA).
Thanks in advance.

DISPLAY=":1" wine ...
Just substitute the display number (and make sure there is X server running there and permissions are set correctly using xhost). |

It's kind of working. The game is opening in the middle of the desktop, instead of occupying the whole desktop. And only a quarter of the desktop occupies the whole screen. How can I solve that?
This is what I am doing:
| Code: | cd ~/game_directory
sudo X :1 -ac &
DISPLAY=":1" flwm &
DISPLAY=":1" wine jogo.exe -opengl & |

Thanks for the tip, but it is not working. xlaunch is asking for a launch.sh script, which I don't know where to find.

1. Does it work ok with some other programs (not wine)?
2. Is this flwm call neccessary? Try without it. |

the link for the script and the instruction are given in the third part, and in the fourth part IV ) c) Differents settings for each app I show you how to use a different resolution on that display. (actually it seems you can now have only one config file, and play with the --layout option, But I have not experiment this yet  )

I am using these two scripts to acomplish the task, and it is working quite well:
xmen2.sh:
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
# Game parameters.
PROGRAM="c:/Arquivos de programas/Activision/X-Men Legends 2/Data/XMen2.exe -opengl"
SCREEN_RES="1024x768" # Must match screen identifier in XF86Config
SCREEN_BPP="24" # Must be defined for screen in XF86Config
GAMMA="1.75"
~/winerun.sh "$PROGRAM" $SCREEN_RES $SCREEN_BPP $GAMMA |
winerun.sh:
| Code: | PROGRAM=$1
SCREEN_RES=$2
SCREEN_BPP=$3
GAMMA=$4
# Sensitivity works according to "xset mouse"
MOUSE_SENSITIVITY="1.15/15"
# Display number to use
DISPLAY_NUMBER=":1"
# Nice priority to give to wine. Note some games (ex Starcraft) do not like -20.
PRIORITY=-5
GAME_PLAYER=$USER
# extract
APPDIR=${PROGRAM%/*}
APPEXE=./${PROGRAM##*/}
SCRIPT="xgamma -gamma $GAMMA
xset mouse $MOUSE_SENSITIVITY
cd \"$HOME/.wine/dosdevices/$APPDIR\"
sudo -u $GAME_PLAYER nice $PRIORITY wine $APPEXE $*
wait"
# Run full screen on display 1.
export DISPLAY=$DISPLAY_NUMBER
# Make sure user is allowed to use display 1.
[ "`xauth list $DISPLAY_NUMBER`" ] || xauth add $DISPLAY_NUMBER . `mcookie`
sudo xinit /bin/sh -c "$SCRIPT" -- $DISPLAY -screen $SCREEN_RES -depth $SCREEN_BPP |
I just have to run xmen2.sh to play the game.

| you could also try using xnest to create a separate login, at least then if the xserver crashes you won't lose your current desktop. |

not that I care a lot, but Gotterdammerung just rewrote parts of xlaunch, everythings he does here, was already possible with xlaunch, (including the variable definition and so on)...
slackthumbz, if my game crash (which happen sometimes with wine&warcraft), I don't have any problem on my desktop, I don't see the problem? And as for the separate login, note that you can enable the "XPLAYER" feature wich allow you to launch a given application on a other Xserver/display using sudo.
