user282069ahoy; is there some better way to set desktop resolution?  $xrandr --output DVI-0 --off  $xrander --output VGA-1 --mode yaddaXyadda17:42
user282069for multi monitors this gives me big problems in wine17:42
masonuser282069: Do that before / after running Wine?17:43
user282069both17:43
user282069but before is less problematic17:43
masonOh, if you're not doing it *concurrently* with Wine, how is it a problem?17:43
user282069i still get bad x window errors17:44
user282069thank you for some feedback mason17:44
masonuser282069: 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
masonIt's been a while, but this might help. It contains all the Wine bits in a single Linux-side window.17:45
masonuser282069: Example of execution: wine explorer /desktop=steam,1920x1080 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -no-cef-sandbox17:45
masonor from way back, wine explorer /desktop=wow,1920x1080 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net\Battle.net Launcher.exe"17:46
user282069thank you very much for that tip :] is that the same as winecfg 'run in virtual desktop' option?17:46
masonEffectively.17:46
user282069the -no-cef switch17:46
user282069ok17:46
mason-no-cef-sandbox is specific to Steam, so you can probably ignore it17:47
user282069the blizzard launcher does not support 640x480 -_-17:56
user282069not so easy to change the resolution in the virtual desktop to make it happy17:56
masonuser282069: /desktop=wow,1920x108017:57
masonuser282069: 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 did17:57
masonPlus side, if you use the virtual desktop, you don't have to shut off one of your monitors. \o/17:58
user282069tyty again :] for 1998 starcraft it should17:58
masonJust 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-enter17:58
user282069so ugly how the game has been bundled in broken crud17:58
masonOh. Maybe. Even there I'd think a bit more would be reasonable.17:58
