 Posted: Sat Jul 02, 2005 1:26 am Post subject: SOLVED: Starcraft, Wine - HOWTO full-screen? |
 |
|
I've installed Wine in the hopes of getting Starcraft running on Linux. So far, it's up and running, and works fine as long as I add the appropriate commands in ~/.wine/config to run it in a 640x480 window. I'd really like to run Starcraft full-screen, though.
Back in Red Hat 9, when I did "wine StarCraft.exe", it would automagically load Starcraft, switch to 640x480x8 resolution, and work perfectly (never tried network games, but otherwise...). In Gentoo (2005.0, I think; a new download/install), Starcraft dies with a DirectX error when it tries to switch to 640x480.
I'm running Linux x86_64 (I followed Wine compile instructions from this forum somewhere because the official ebuild dies on x86_64; could that have broken something?). I'm using the NVidia proprietary drivers, if it matters.
I've seen some scripts on this forum for launching a new X instance at the right resolution; this isn't exactly what I want, but I've tried it anyway. It only works if I set up a 640x480x8 X server, and then the colors look horrendous.
Is there a way to get this to work cleanly?
Here are my Wine and X config files, if that helps: (is there any other relevant info?)

I seem to have solved the problem. Here's what I did:
I first emerged all of the emul-linux-x86-* packages:
| Code: |
emerge emul-linux-x86-baselibs
emerge emul-linux-x86-compat
emerge emul-linux-x86-glibc
emerge emul-linux-x86-gtklibs
emerge emul-linux-x86-qtlibs
emerge emul-linux-x86-sdl
emerge emul-linux-x86-soundlibs
emerge emul-linux-x86-xlibs
|
(I skipped emul-linux-x86-nvidia because it was masked; I believe it's built in to the current Nvidia package)
I had emerged several of the above before, but apparently new versions were available (?); all packages re-downloaded.
After this, I removed symlinks "/usr/lib/libXext.a", "/usr/lib/libXext.so", and "/usr/lib/libX11.so", and re-created them, targeting them at the corresponding files in "/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/". I'm sure this will break some package or other, but it hasn't caused any problems yet, so...
After that, wine worked as expected; Starcraft went full-screen nicely, and at a quick glance it appears to work well.
EDIT: Apparently, /usr/lib is a symlink to /usr/lib64, not /usr/lib32 like on other distros... In any case, X refused to start the next time I rebooted the system. I'm not sure if the above changes caused the problem; I've undone all of them (and re-emerged Xorg and the Nvidia drivers, which I use), and the problem's still there. The problem appears to be somewhere in the Nvidia drivers; the Nv X driver still works fine. So, don't try the above unless you're really sure it won't break X!! |
