user282069 | ahoy; is there some better way to set desktop resolution? $xrandr --output DVI-0 --off $xrander --output VGA-1 --mode yaddaXyadda | 17:42 |
user282069 | for multi monitors this gives me big problems in wine | 17:42 |
mason | user282069: Do that before / after running Wine? | 17:43 |
user282069 | both | 17:43 |
user282069 | but before is less problematic | 17:43 |
mason | Oh, if you're not doing it *concurrently* with Wine, how is it a problem? | 17:43 |
user282069 | i still get bad x window errors | 17:44 |
user282069 | thank you for some feedback mason | 17:44 |
mason | user282069: Back when I regularly used Wine for a couple games, I found it better to have Wine run a virtual desktop rather than allowing rootless windows. | 17:44 |
mason | It's been a while, but this might help. It contains all the Wine bits in a single Linux-side window. | 17:45 |
mason | user282069: Example of execution: wine explorer /desktop=steam,1920x1080 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -no-cef-sandbox | 17:45 |
mason | or from way back, wine explorer /desktop=wow,1920x1080 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net\Battle.net Launcher.exe" | 17:46 |
user282069 | thank you very much for that tip :] is that the same as winecfg 'run in virtual desktop' option? | 17:46 |
mason | Effectively. | 17:46 |
user282069 | the -no-cef switch | 17:46 |
user282069 | ok | 17:46 |
mason | -no-cef-sandbox is specific to Steam, so you can probably ignore it | 17:47 |
user282069 | the blizzard launcher does not support 640x480 -_- | 17:56 |
user282069 | not so easy to change the resolution in the virtual desktop to make it happy | 17:56 |
mason | user282069: /desktop=wow,1920x1080 | 17:57 |
mason | user282069: If you script your application start-up you can define that in advance, and yeah, I wouldn't expect 640x480 to work or be usable if it did | 17:57 |
mason | Plus side, if you use the virtual desktop, you don't have to shut off one of your monitors. \o/ | 17:58 |
user282069 | tyty again :] for 1998 starcraft it should | 17:58 |
mason | Just be aware that if you change desktops with a modifier held, the modifier key might "stick" and have to be explicitly pressed again when you re-enter | 17:58 |
user282069 | so ugly how the game has been bundled in broken crud | 17:58 |
mason | Oh. Maybe. Even there I'd think a bit more would be reasonable. | 17:58 |
