similar to: How to run several applications at the same time under wine?

I'm playing Anarchy Online through Wine on Ubuntu system. The game doesn't run on windowed mode so I'm forced to use fullscreen, however this is not the issue since I'm using virtual desktop emulation that gives me the window in which I can play the game and also Alt+Tab to other programs. Thing is that I'm using this addon thingie called Clicksaver while playing the game.

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

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

I really don't know how to google this or forum search this question as I have been trying to find the answer for an hour or so. I apologize if it's somewhere on the board spammed a lot but: How do I switch between different running wine apps. Pretty much, how do I use an emulated version of Alt+Tab in Wine? I don't know the hotkey, thanks!

Hi, When I load World of Warcraft the CPU jumps from an average of 10-15% up to 100% and stays there pretty constantly whilst playing. This doesn't seem to affect gameplay most of the time (and I understand it may be relatively normal behaviour for running games under Wine), but occasionally I get a complete lock up of the game for about 3 seconds. The game screen freezes completely and the

I haven't been able to find a way yet, but is it possible to somehow have steam run not in a virtual desktop or at least a seperate virtual desktop than team fortress 2? If I could alt tab or switch desktop spaces and be able to access steam from my taskbar so I can talk to my friends in the game (since in-game overlay doesn't work) Or join them using the steam friends options without

Hello, when I run a fullscreen app through WINE such as WoW and I ctrl-alt-d to do something on the desktop then try to go back to the game my WINE window is no longer full screen, it shows up in the middle of the desktop at about 1/2 the size of the screen. Before the new Ubuntu update all I had to do was switch workspaces and switch back, but now that isn't working. Any ideas?

If I play games in Windows, I can Alt-Tab out of the game. In Wine, I can't do this. I want to be able to Alt-Tab instead of exiting the game. This is practical on, for example, LAN. Stalker72

Hi all, I sincerely hope you can help me with this since it has turned out to be a real hassle for me. The problem is, that whenever I Alt+Right click in a fullscreen DirectX application (in this case World of Warcraft), it open the menu from the window manager similar to the menu which pops up when you right click the titlebar of a windowed application (Maximize / Minimize / Move / Resize ...).

Hi, i have 2 applications running with Wine (e.g. Runes of Magic + teamspeak) , the problem is that one is in fullscreen mode and i don't get how to switch to the other application without closing the first one... isn't there anything like alt + tab which lets you switch between applications in wine? greets s1nnl0s

Listmates, I installed 8.2 on opensuse 10.3 from the opensuse XGL repository to replace 7.6. Compiz works with the nvidia 8600 GT card (512M of GDDR3) on the box, but the ctrl+alt <- -> switching behavior is really bad. In 7.6, the ctrl+alt <- -> desktop switching changed desktops crisply with just the slightest hint of the cube detected during the very short and nice switch.

Ubuntu 10.4 32bit I've tried Ubuntu proprietary drivers, and latest Nvidia drivers 256.53 or something. (gpu = evga 8600 gts 256mb) Wine versions 1.2 and up all have my issue When I run Steam games windowed or fullscreened, they run amazing. Until I get a skype/pidgin/rythmbox/email notification popup, at which point the steam app drops dramatically in performance. (1 different frame every 10

hi there, i read a lot here, but i didn't found any answer for my prolem: my system is mandake 8.0 final i compiled the wine-20010305 using ./configure --enable-opengl --prefix=/usr then used make and after that make install. everything seems to work (i can run the hl-installer). so, now, when i mount my cdrom and then do wine SETUP.EXE in the cdrom-dir, first, the sierra logo appears and

Hi, if you don't like to read the reason of the question, skip the blue part ;) i usually like to play older games with wine, and many of them are restricted to a screen resolution of SVGA or XGA ect. This looks of course incredibly bad on a Full HD Widescreen. Some of these games offer parameters or modes to play them in windowed mode (DiabloII, ...), some of them do only support the

Hi, I'm still new in linux world and CentOS is my 2nd linux desktop I ever used ( have used it for month now, before using Ubuntu for 2 days ), so please gave me a little favor on it :) What I need to do is to have my virtual console that can also run gnome or kde, so I can have different windows on different virtual console. After googling, I found the qingy that just fit for my need. I

I recently installed Fedora Cora 5 (2.6.17-1.2157_FC5) on my PC, and then installed Wine (0.9.17) from the Fedora yum repository. I then installed Master of Orion II, and tried to run it. It started OK, but as soon as I moved the mouse, it seemed to hang. My keyboard and mouse stopped working, and the only way I could break out was to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and log out. I tried this repeatedly, and

I have a significant problem running WINE with some programs. WINE will appear to run them just fine, but there will be this "Blinking" when I try to access the menus which make it hard to close. In one case, it also changed resolution so when I used alt-tab I had ALLOT of trouble getting back into it. I know I can use the terminal to type Code: $ wine taskmgr But when I program is

Wing Commnader Prophecy (multiple CD's) install doesn't give any problem (due to its small pop-up format window) and the game plays well until I come to the next CD. Game grabs full screen 800x600 svga. Pop-up window for second CD appears, but I can not switch with <Alt><Tab> to desktop. What did I already try? Read lots of items on this forum :D

Hi System: SuSE 10.0 KDE Release 3.5.2 Level "a" Wine 0.9.13 SmartInspect Personal 1.1.0.597 I installed SmartInspect Personal 1.1.0.597 under Wine 0.9.13 and it works perfect.

I have Wine 20041019 and have done all the configuration with Wine tools. Then I Installed Photoshop 7 by executing ~/bin/dos then going to the cdrom drive and running the setup executable. The setup went fine and photoshop was installed. Then I simulated a windows reboot from wine tools. Then i again executed ~/bin/dos and went to the place where i Installed photoshop 7 and executed
