wine users - Jul 2009 - Mac OS X, X11, resolution problem

I'm trying to run a game in full screen mode that cannot change my
resolution to 640x480...

the error message is
err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 640x480x32
@0! (NoRes)

how would I go about doing something to add this available resolution so it can
auto switch?

I know its possible as Crossover can do it fine... just not when i use standard
Wine.

I think the issue you are seeing is not really a Wine issue. Crossover ships a
custom hacked X-server because XQuartz and the Apple X11 server don't offer
functionality like e.g. XRandR for resolution switching. Because the X-server
lacks this functionality you aren't seeinig resolution switching.

it switches resolutions fine though for full screen... to any resolution except
640x480... its the only one it gives errors on.

2.3.3.2 or even beta of 2.4 do not help...

Any app in Wine that tries to change the resolution, wether running Fullscreen
or Rootless, fails (it wont always crash, usually it just makes a smaller
resolution box in the corner)... the X server never changes the resolution.  I
have not found any X11 apps that do change the resolution... This seems like a
Major issue to me for X11 on Mac OS X, but no one else that works on Xquartz
seems to care, I guess Wine and a few games are the only thing that uses it
there that cares about running full screen with different resolutions.  I do not
know if they'll ever add proper support for it.  I can understand blocking
resolution changes in Rootless, but when running Fullscreen, why not let it
change the resolutions?

anyways, thanks for the info, but this X11 problem isn't a Wine issue.

I just wish the people working on native Quartz support in Wine could get it
working right, but from what info i see on it, I'm not sure anyones even
attempting to work on it anymore.... if that worked, we wouldn't even need
X11 on Mac OS X.
