similar to: re-getting keyboard focus

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

I cant really seem to find a definite answer: there's a bunch of stuff written on the subject, but nothing definite. "I've got it half way working" seems to be all I can find. So, has anyone gotten it working fully? I'd love to be able to run this without having to install windows... that would be a pain having to reformat etc etc etc... thx

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

ok guys I've gotta diablo to the point where it gets all the way to the player screen, I pick my character and it continues to load, it gets SO close (the monk is almost engulfed in light) until the music stops and it seems to hang here's the interesting stuff in my wine config: [x11drv] ; Number of colors to allocate from the system palette "AllocSystemColors" = "100"

I'm sorry if this is a re-post - I switched news servers and it's not showing up on the new one. Here goes: I'm trying to run Starcraft fullscreen using xinit: xinit /usr/bin/wine ./starcraft.exe -- /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 -screen Starcraft This runs SC in full-screen mode, no window manager, a separate X server, DGA-enabled, the whole 9 yards. Starcraft starts and looks great.

I'm wondering if theres a way to disable it, I made a program which broadcasts keystrokes between multiple windows (see the source here, http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=19683 ) This program works fine in everything, except wine. It works fine in wine too, but only when the window is focused. This makes me think that wine is rejecting the keyboard input, purely because the

Anyone got neo-modus.com's Direct Connect file-sharing software to work in wine ? I get just a popup with a red cross in and the text "Invalid Picture" and an OK button, pushing it exits the program. This is what wine says: fixme:win32:SetCriticalSectionSpinCount critsection=0x77a36230: spincount=1000 not supported fixme:win32:SetCriticalSectionSpinCount critsection=0x77a36258:

Well I am trying to play a game under wine but I am having a problem with keyboard focus.The problem is that even when a wine window is not in focus it still seems 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

Hi, If I play a game in Wine - either Caesar III or Half Life come to mind right now - they seem to work better for me in a windowed setup where the game is not full screen and I can still see the rest of my Gnome desktop in the background. Caesar III plays well under Cedega or Wine, HL much better under Cedega, but the point being that I've tried both. The frustration I've had is

out of curiosity, i ran war2 BNE. the same thing happened as in starcraft: keyboard would not work. it didnt give me any error messages or anything, so I cant really put any of that up here. hmm. any ideas?

I am brand new to Wine. Just downloaded it (for OSX) and got it going today. I actually used Winebottler (http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/), but I think my problems are symptoms of Wine itself. I am using Wine primarily to play my favorite game, Anarchy Online, on my new iMac sans bootcamp. The game installed fine, it loads up and seems to run well, but many of the keys needed for the game

I have installed Diablo 1 lately and found Wine can't load the game succesfully. I see a few frames of Blizzard's intro, then it freezes. With Cedega 4.0 it works pretty well> I played for a couple hours then found later I can't load my games back. Ain't that funny? It seems to be a menu problem. Another thing I noticed with Cedega is, multiplayer hangs really quick.

hi all: I copied over a windows MSTSC.exe and ran the remote desktop, it gave me a small window for the IP address, then after the successful connection, it shows me the (full screen ) XP login interface, weir thing is, it loses mouse / keyboard focus now, so I can't type in anything, neither can I close the window, the focus is still on the background (gnome) desktop, so I could press

Hi, I frequently compile wine from source. Last weekend, diablo II worked fine. Today, after I updated wine to latest head, it isn't playing any sound in the menu. The debug log says: > 10:44:38.280 ........DirectSound progress: 0 buffers available is > less than min needed 16 buffers for 3d sound > 10:44:38.284 ........DirectSound progress: 0 buffers available is > less

Hi, I've just manages to get "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" and "Elite Force" working in Linux using wine. The graphics don't work anywhere near as well as with the native Quake 3 though which does concern me a bit. My main concern is a lack of keyboard. I looked through earlier postings for solutions and have now tried the DXgrab=Y option, which didn't help.

Hi, at first i have to mention, that i am an freshman in Linux. I am working with it since half a year and still trying to get the basic-knowledge. Nevertheless I've wanted to install Diablo, my favourite game, on Wine. But when I start the setup.exe with the 'Wine-Windows-Emulator' an dchoose the installation-path, only an video-sequence starts, then it returnes to desktop. When I

after booting a CentOS 4.2 system I have a bunch of zombies... root 2828 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 14:41 0:00 [chvt] <defunct> My read from googling this is chvt stems from something that involves a shell. They ***may*** have been created from my attempts to start mysqld which isn't working (I will start another thread) but no efforts to kill them off are working...

Hi all! I'm new to the list (and syslinux for that matter!) but I've searched as best I can for a similar problem to no avail. I've been using pxelinux.0 + menu.c32 + memdisk to load MS-DOS boot images for a few months now using version 3.07. When I introduced a new Intel 945G based machine to the network I started getting very erratic behavior, ranging from reboots to hangs, to

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...

Hi, I am trying to compile wine in an AMD64 Ubuntu machine, taking the precautions needed shown in the winehq's wiki to do it. The compilation finishes fine, but for some reason there is no support for some things that used to have in the i386 pre-compiled package. One of them is ALSA sound. I use ALSA because for some reason OSS sometimes ruins the sound making it look like a loud scratch
