Just as a note.. Xquartz is going to have RANDR capabilities in Xquartz 2.6.0, thanks to the work of Jeremy Huddleston and Jan Hauffa. Right now on Macports if you install xorg-server-devel it will be a build with what is currently in of RandR... its still not totally finished, but it would be nice if some Mac Users could test how it works so far with Wine... if we find bugs now, it could help

I've successfully downloaded and run a number of simple Windows programs using Wine. But I've had no success with any programs that require an installer. The installation process seems to work properly, but then when I try to run the app, I get Code: The program <programname.exe> has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi everyone - I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this (but I'd thought I'd give the forums a try before attempting to file any bugs anywhere), but anyway... For a month or two I've been using wine-devel on OSX using macports (from 1.4 to current, approximately) with the latest version of XQuartz, and noticed that while the "emulate virtual desktop" window

I hope it's ok to ask about Darwine on these forums. I installed Morrowind GOTY on OSX using Darwine and it starts. But I can't set a resolution as the list of resolutions is empty. It recognises an NVIDIA graphics card but no resolutions. Any ideas how to get this working? Thanks

Okay, I'd like to start first by saying, awesome work on this project! It's been a few years since I last tracked the progress of WINE on OS X, and it's come on leaps and bounds as I can run most everything I've thrown at it so far, with only minor issues here and there, which is a damned sight better than VMWare Fusion or Parallels which have compatibility issues everywhere,

Hi all, A couple of days ago I decided to give wine on a mac a try caused I got bored of dual booting my mac. I ve been A linux wine user for years and I had some pretty good results with it. I figured that i would have the same results on a mac but i guess I was wrong. I got my version (wine-devel packet wine 1.1.16) from macports. Got winetricks as well. Everything were setup fine and

Firstly, hello everyone! I'v been using wine under OSX for some time, using macports to install it and it works quite nicely (except for an issue with windows sliding down the screen, which can be fixed by setting a desktop area in winecfg). Sadly I'v not been able to get OpenGL support working. (I am using OSX 10.5.4 with XQuartz (http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki) 2.3.0, which is

I suppose Zach Drayer makes the Darwine version from thisismyinter.net. I tried his version 1.1.3, and it broke my Wine, so have gone back to 1.1.1. Hopefully the next build by either can fix OpenGL as well. I read it can't compile because of a dependancy on an XQuartz library which is too old in the current version. XQuartz 2.3.1 is also overdue. Maybe Kronenberg is waiting on them, too. It

I'm trying to run good old Baldurs gate 2 windows version on my new mac. I'm trying to get it work with wine since I do not got any windows copy available and I'm on a limited 26k internet so can't download anything at all. I got the game up and running with singleplayer.. Sadly though I can't get multiplayer to work at all. When I try to start a new multiplayer session i get

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 hi, on OS X, when you try and use something which depends on X11, and you don't have XQuartz installed, you receive an error message, it directs you to download XQuartz, and then it euthanizes your process. (my guess is that there is a skeleton X11 dylib installed in OS X by default, and it is responsible for the error message and the

Hi James, thank you for your kind reply. The XQuartz folks recommend to logout and back in to have the DISPLAY variable set correctly, which I did. But I will also try a reboot to be sure. When I start something with wine, the XQuartz icon comes up automatically, so I am pretty sure that XQuartz is used (Apple's X11 is not active). I had another try with WINEDEBUG=+wgl, perhaps that brings

I need to know exactly how Wine tells the X server to change gamma settings... so gamma controls in games can work. Basically I need to know.. when a game has like a gamma adjust bar, and it moves... what specifically happens behind the scenes. I need to know this because right now Xquartz on Mac OS X does not support doing this at all, and I'd like to be able to add that ability into it...

Hello, I'm having difficulties running WonderKing (http://wonderking.ndoorsgames.com/center/default.asp) on an Intel Mac version 10.5.8 using Wine 1.1.35. I was able to download and install both programs successfully, but when I run WonderKing, I'm able to get to the first screen where you can check to see if you have all the files needed to run the game (I have all of them), change from

I think this has been noted in previous posts by others, but I'm noticing it with post-version 1 builds of Darwine for OSX and I'm wondering if there's any way to fix it. The behavior is hard to describe but here goes: when using either Irfanview or Forte Agent, mouse activity in the Windows app causes the window to move downward on the desktop. Each click, the windows jumps

I just tried the "qtgears" OpenGL demo from http://lab.bachem-it.com/opengl/qtgears (source is included) on my MacBook and I got this error: DIAG: apple_glx_create_context: ac 0x41931730 ac->context_obj 0x4104ce00 DIAG: apple_glx_drawable_create: new drawable 0x4088a000 DIAG: create_surface: created a surface for drawable 0x600010 with uid 153 DIAG: surface_make_current:

I have a problem with the directdraw for diablo 1 on my mac. I have read through a few topics but can't seem to find the answer to my question. Also I have looked at the app in appdb but the help given there is not for mac. I have tried to do what it says but it seems like it doesn't work on my computer. I am new to wine by the way. If anyone can help me can they write out what to do

HI, I have an old VB6 Application using MS Access as Database and Crystal Report 4.6 as Reporting Tool. The Application works fine on Ubuntu but When I Try it to MAC OS the Printing of Reports which is working on Ubuntu but not on MAC OSX. I tried to Run the Crystal 4.6 on MAC but it?s not working. Any suggestion to make it possible? Thanks

Thanks for working on it regardless, all these compiling issues are beyond most of us. Everything is "easy" or "manageable" to fix as long as you know how! I don't know if it's available via Macports, but I imagine Darwine is rather tweaked for the Mac beyond merely being a straight port, I don't know if Macports would throw up similar compiler issues. I received
