I'm currently running a game (warcraft iii to be precise) in a windowed environment so I can make use of my desktop during games. Because of poor scrolling ability, I had to enable the DxGrab option for the window to lock the mouse to the window. Is there a way to escape the mouse out to the desktop? I've tried switching virtual desktops within my window manager but all the key captures are going to the game window and not working. The only solution I have found thus far is to som...

...arcraft starts and looks great. Unfortunately, the keyboard and the mouse don't work. They get disconnected as soon as starcraft kicks in. I have to log in remotely and do a killall wine to re-gain control of my keyboard. In my config file, I have "Managed" = "N" "DXGrab" = "Y" "UseDGA" = "Y" "UseXShm" = "Y" I have tried running it with DXGrab both on and off, and neither worked. Please help me. P.S.: Some history: The last time I had SC working perfectly was under RedHat 7.1 using wine-20010510. At the t...

now that i got diablo II installed fine (full install) , wine hangs when i try to start the game. i compiled wine with --disable-debug, so i recompiled it without that, but it still wouldn't give me any errors. it just sits there doing nothing short period after starting. anybody had similar problems before, or has an idea of what it happening? thx in advance, totti. -- Sent through GMX

...me (say, Diablo 2) in wine, I haven't found a way to re-get it. The mouse works fine but the keyboard does not work once you loose the focus (for example by clicking outside the ddraw area). Any solutions ? Also, is there a way to "ALT+TAB" out of wine ? Because I was thinking maybe DXGrab = Y could help this, but it is too dangerous to enable if there are no built-in wine hotkeys to switch out of it... /Bjorn

How do you force a game todo 800x600? Ive specified... "Managed" = "Y" "Desktop" = "800x600" "UseDGA" = "Y" "UseXShm" = "Y" "DXGrab" = "Y" "DesktopDoubleBuffered" = "Y" The actual game (Civ III), runs fine, its just too big for my 800x600 setup, its some how stretched out... note the 1024x768 bit in the "Change display setttingsA"...is there a fix around this? (using Wine Debian...

Hello, I'm running Diablo 2 under Wine. It runs beautifully, except I get two mouse cursors: the game cursor, and the X cursor. This can get kind of disconcerting sometimes, because they're not always colocated. Any hints? I have DxGrab = Y. -- Soli Deo Gloria -Rob French

...ves your position like it would if it was the app in focus, you're no longer in a safe place and you die. Bummer... ;-) I haven't found a way to get a game being played under Wine to act like a normal app. I've played a bit with the managed configuration, as well as the dxgrag item. DxGrab seems to keep the mouse inside the game and disables Alt-Tabbing so I cannot get out to do anything else. Certainly I can save the game, pop to some other window in the game where I'm not playing, like the HL Load screen, and I have no problems, but how can I get Wine to not watch the mouse...

...to accept keyboard input.This is a problem because this particular game uses "ctrl" or "shift" to skip text,and using these keys outside the game results in several pages of skipped text within the game.I've tryed playing around with "UseTakeFocus" and "DXGrab" as well as "Desktop" and "Managed/Unmanged" video modes,but nothing seems to help.Interestingly this even seems to happen when I am under a seperate X server instance,so it doesn't seem to be a window manager issue.Also this message repeats continuosly on the c...

The gmae loads okay (with some sound oddity in the intro, but whoe cares it's only the intro). But when I get to the menu, there is no mouse cursor. I tried turing on/off the dxgrab option in my conf, but it didn't help. I start the game by typing wine Pharaoh.exe form the Pahraoh driectory. The second game that I have problem with is Total Anihlation. When I try to start it, it loads but I never see any graphinc on the screen. I can here the music, and if I press the...
