similar to: What might affect keyboard input in a game under Wine?

There's an old Ubisoft game called "Hype the Time Quest". For many Wine versions, Wine could not get past the Hype installer. It would go up to 117% and fail. Then a version came where if you unchecked the DirectX check, the install would work (or maybe that's all you had to do to begin with). But the game would fail to start with an error about MaiD3Dvr_bleu.exe. Then a Wine

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

Hello! I'm new to wine development - it pretty much has worked out of the box with everything I needed. :) I've been looking however to improve my current development workflow when working with Unity 3D (can be downloaded for free at http://www.unity3d.com). I've tried using it with Wine a couple of times - to no avail. My current workflow involves then running a virtual machine (and

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

After testing some wine apps on Ubuntu 11.04 A2 today, and using 10.10 NE in previous weeks, I've notice a few issues that may hinder the use of Wine on this OS. These are mostly aesthetic and ease of use, but are worth noting in any case. 1: Removal of Notification Area/System Tray For those who aren't aware, 11.04 and 10.10N used the new Unity interface, instead of the legacy GNOME GUI.

Hello, I noticed that in the last period, many gaming companies started to build free games for the online platforms. I think that in the next period of time, they will appear allot of 3d games on social sites. My example is N.O.V.A. from facebook (developed by Gameloft). From my pov it's a very good start for online 3d games. So, what's my problem: I want to play nova on linux, using

re, all. Here's a bug filed against Google Chrome for the same problem: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=80856 and here's some forum users complaining about the same problem, and regrettably their solution is to stop using Ubuntu's Unity mode: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742354. I work for VMware and for our Unity mode (which has the unfortunate name

Hey, I've reported this over at the Pixologic Sculptris forums as well, and it appears to be a known prolblem; altho it's uncertain if it's a Sculptris or Wine problem. Regardless, Sculptris under Wine isn't "officially supported", sooo I come here. What happens is this: Mouse input works fine for sculpting, along with the shift, control, and alt keys. The problem is when

Hi, I'm on ubuntu 11.04 with the Unity environment. I'd like to create a shortcut of an application in wine to the ubuntu menu, but it doesn't work. :( How can I do that ? Thanks a lot,

I have dual-screen compiz-fusion finally working on my ATI Radeon Mobility X600. AIGLX was the way to go using MergedFB. gentoo linux-2.6.22 x11-base/xorg-server-1.2.0-r3 x11-base/xorg-x11-7.2 media-libs/mesa-6.5.2-r1 x11-wm/compiz-9999 x11-wm/compiz-fusion-9999 But a number of remaining issues: - my second screen doesn't render properly.

After 2 whole days of Ubuntu experience, could be Unity, could be Wine, so my questions: - When I put a windows application cd in my drive, I see it in Launcher, and can open it and see the folders and files. However, I cannot browse to it from my Wine Configuration "Add Application" window. Choosing "My Computer" gives C: and Z: drives, no evidence of the cd drive. How do I

Hello, I'm developing a fancy screenshot application for the GNOME-desktop using GTK and GDK libraries (and some Xlib stuff too). When taking a screenshot of a window, my code first finds out in which desktop the window lies (resides) and then moves to that desktop and takes a screenshot. This is quite easy to do under the Metacity window manager, but I cannot make this work right in Compiz

I just pushed some code into the compiz repository for initial metacity theme support. It's not complete, left and right borders are not rendered correctly, button decorations doesn't always match event window locations, maximized and shaded windows are not rendered as when running metacity, button locations are not configurable as with metacity... but it still seem to look OK with most

I recently updated my Ubunto from 11.04 to 11.10 and I can no longer play windows games via wine. However I can still launch and use Steam, but I cant play any of the games there, Steam shows the "preparing to launch..." message but the game never launches. Also with World of Warcraft the game launcher opens up, I can see the news and all, but when I push the play button the launcher

Hi, Running the latest version of wine, I have come across a problem that seems simple but I can't find a fix to it! As a more in-depth look at the problem described in this thread: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-users/2005/08/0012.html When I run 3d applications my keyboard will not respond, however in 2d applications such as notepad I get the same error messages however the

I played a little bit yesterday with adding metacity theme support to gwd and it looks like it's not going to be very hard. Hopefully I'll have it working in the next couple of days. What I've done is to rip out all the parts of the metacity code that is required for theme support (boxes.c, gradient.c, theme-parser.c, theme.c, util.c). Ideal would be if we could put this part of

A couple of years ago I was building an online multiplayer game doing the frontend in Flash MX 2004 and using Colin Moock''s Unity server (http://moock.org/unity/) for the backend. This was to be along the lines of JungleWar and the Hidden and Dangerous mini games for those whom remember these: http://moock.org/unity/showcase/screenshots/hiddenanddangerous.gif

I have configured compiz to use 1 workspace and 4 viewports and metacity to use 4 workspaces. When I start compiz while metacity was running it uses 4 workspaces and 4 viewports (ignoring the gconf settings). When I restart X so that compiz is started before metacity this does not happen (it uses what its configured for). bug or feature? if feature can it be disabled? switching

hi, I made a small a patch for gtk-window-decorator which define default border alpha to zero when it use metacity theme. That allows while playing with the alpha attributes of the metacity themes to have transparent borders. here too the modified ?Human Ubuntu? theme and a screenshot to show the result. ps: sorry for my bad english -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment
