similar to: Can't get Keyboard focus in Game windows.

Hi, How do I change the keyboard focus to a directx window? Keyboard didn't work for me in all directx games. All I type goes to the terminal from which i started the game. My windowmanager (sawfish) doesn't recognize a directx window as a window so I can't change the keyboard focus to it. Can anyone help me? Thx, Matthias

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

Steam Games/Full Screen/No Keyboard??? Hi, There is a major problem running Valve Steam client games in full screen under current 1.3.8 Wine 32bits. The problem is simple, but may be difficult to fix. I run Steam client and then run a game (example CoD:Black Ops) Game runs fine in full screen mode, but the keyboard does not work?

When you loose keyboard focus in a game (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

Hi, I've noticed, now that I'm using twinview, that when I click any other window outside of the Wine desktop (Civ4 or WCIII normally), I can click back to the Wine desktop but can no longer use any of the keyboard shortcuts. Things work fine before actually clicking outside the wine window (for example, on my Pidgin chat window). This happens whether the app is run in windowed mode or

I'm trying to run Amazon Trail II, an old MECC game. It installs fine and seems to load okay, however the game window within the main wine window is greyed out and the mouse and keyboard can't seem to get focus. The sound still works and no error messages are reported on the console. Any help would be greatly appreciated! For info: I'm running Linux Mint 9 (~Ubuntu 9.10) and Wine

Hi everyone - and I apologize in advance for the vagueness on this one. I recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit (fresh install). One game that I normally submit test data for has suddenly lost the ability to type. I can no longer enter a userid or password on it's login screen. (I was able to do this in 11.04 64-bit with Wine 1.3.29.) The only keys that are responsive now are the return and

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

[CoD:Black Ops] - Using STEAM, Keyboard Not Work In Full Screen? Hi, I can't run Black Ops in full screen under current Wine. I'm using Valve's Steam client which is the issue. I have to log into Steam client to play the game. After I run game, Steam steals the keyboard focus and I am stuck in the game (full screen) with no exit? (have to reset my computer to get out of it)

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

Hey folks, I've been trying to get Heavy Gear 2 (awesome old Activision mech FPS game) up and running on wine. The game requires Direct X 6, which necessitates that I run wine configured to Windows version 95 or 98. Everything works fine except for the fact that SOME, actually the majority of the keys on my (laptop) keyboard don't work. To be more specific, all keys seem to work when in

Hello, First - Sorry for my English. My problem is, that every game that I run in Wine turns of my monitor. It say, that resolution is out of range. But when I checked monitor on windows, those resolutions worked properly. When I run game (in virtual desktop) and set resolution to 1024x768, than disable virtual desktop and again run game every thing is ok, but in this resolution game is slow. I

Hi When I open the game (in this case Juiced), on the 'PROFILE MANAGER screen', the keyboard does not work. At the moment appears to CG I can cut it down, but when I get the screen to create a profile, no key works. I've tried both with the program in fullscreem and window mode (Juiced) in situations with and without the virtual desktop. Already ran two other games and had no

I just discovered that SS2 has been tested in wine and apparently runs pretty well, so I decided to give it a shot. I intalled it from cd using the guidelines given in the AppDB, ie: i used the -ltngforce method of install, I installed the SS2Tool patch, and disabled cutscenes. Each time I run it fullscreen, the main menu is always set to 640x480, and that causes my monitor to bug out, saying
