similar to: Small Issue: Centering Application Ubuntu 8.10

so heres the delima (mainly centered around starcraft but also other games) Ideally I'd like to be able to manually set the running resolution of a game, im not sure if this is still doable without the config file but im hoping. newer games that allow setting the running resolution in there settings are no problem since they all stick to what I tell them to do however older games like

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...

Hiya Compiz list! I am a Linux UI dude for VMware as my day job and am working on improving things in Workstation and Player with regards to multiple monitors on Linux. Some of my colleagues worked with the xdg/wm-spec folks just earlier this year to get the _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS hint into the EWMH spec to address the needs applications have in needing to be both fullscreen and spanning

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

This topic came up some time back and I pretty much ignored it, but the "itch" came back to find out why. Searching through the FreeNX/knx list came up with the reason sessions did not come up full-screen even though the session definition was set to fullscreen. Apparently there is an oversight in /usr/bin/nxnode, the script is never retrieving the fullscreen flag from the parameters

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?

Hello! Today i tried to launch BF2 with following config: Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 Wine 1.1.10 Geforce 9800GT Latest nvidia driver in repository (177.82) I applied a crack (that's working on windows) and copied following dlls in the BF2 directory: d3dx9_25 and d3dx9_36, as they are needed to run the game! When i run it in fullscreen mode (wine), it crashes on a black screen, here's the

Hi Folks, I work at VMware, where I'm making the multi-monitor feature new in Workstation 6.0 (just released!) more robust. Long story short, window managers don't consistently expose a good way for a single window to go fullscreen across more than monitor, which is what we need to do to display the monitors we expose to a guest virtual machine. So we've proposed a new hint for

Hey, I've noticed some strange behaviour in the latest wine versions 1.2rc-x. At 1.2rc-1-3 when I installed games like Guild Wars or Runes of Magic the first start in fullscreen turned the birghtness level of my laptop to 100%. (having a Sony VGN-NR21S with an Nvidia 8400M-GT). I'm setting the brightness level with smartdimmer (nvclock package). When I enter "smartdimmer -s

I'm running Wine on Ubuntu, and I can't seem to run any games fullscreen. They give me errors about being unable to set the resolution. I can run the games with Virtual Desktop enabled, but no matter what I set the resolution to, the window is always the same size, and the Virtual Desktop is always a tiny bit bigger than that window, so I can't see the entire game. I've seen a

Hi, Recently i have worked on re-writing beryl's transparent cube, and ported 3d plugin to compiz. I'm attaching a patchset here that includes the transparent cube patches (i'll post the 3d plugin when i fix some problems that didn't happen in beryl). Patching order: btf-ftb.patch, clip-planes.patch, plugin-events.patch, cube-paint-order.patch, transparent-cube.patch. Special

I've currently got the nx-1.5.0-1.centos4.i386, freenx-0.5.0-8.c4.noarch, and nxclient-1.5.0-141.i386 packages installed on a couple of CentOS 4 update 3 systems and I'm getting the same results on all of them. I got the new version of freenx via "yum update" and it appears to have "broken" fullscreen mode. The connection config file I have been using does have the

I'm having trouble centering multi-line strip text in lattice. As the code below demonstrates bounding box of the text is centered within the strip, but the first line isn't centered in relation to the longer second line. The "adj" argument to par.strip.text doesn't seem to do much. Suggestions? a=data.frame( x=rep(1:10,2) ,y=rep(1:10,2) ,z=rep(c('First Line\nLonger

I worte in my last mail that when I ue compiz git fullscreen videos are no longer ontop of the gnome-panel... that means that the gnome-panel is still visible while playing the video in fullscreen. The commit which I said may caused it has nothing to do with it compiz does not build if I revert it). again with older compiz and metacity it works fine. (now I am running 20070316). Anyone else wiith

Hi all, this error is almost certainly due to a misconfiguration while using tools/winebuild, but every time I update my version of Wine, my fullscreen game (Hoyles Card Games 2001) refuses to work fullscreen anymore :( NB. My current Wine build (LinuxMint) is about 0.9.44 or so, which is the working one. Many of my distro's built in versions of Wine have all worked fullscreen, it is only

Hi, I've been trying out nouveau for a while now and I must say I'm impressed. Performance in KDE4 in general seems better than the nvidia blob; way to go! There are a couple of annoyances though: XV in fullscreen doesn't work. I'm running in composite mode, and non fullscreen video works well enough. Going fullscreen in e.g gmplayer gives me: [ws] Error in display. -0.005 ct:

Hi all, I'm looking for a way to force a certain window on my desktop to go fullscreen. The window in question is from Enemy Territoy, it tries to go fullscreen, but for some reason doesn't work, and stay always redirected with obvious framerate slowdown (keep 6-7 fps average on a FX 5200). I was thinking something like xwinwrap, which you can call a process and force his window to

I'm having a problem with games running in wine fullscreen with nvidia proprietary driver 185.18 under Fedora 11 64-bit. My desktop resolution is 1920x1200, and when I run a game with 1280x960 fullscreen setup (like Halo for example), it changes resolution to 1280x960 and runs fullscreen as expected, but when I move the mouse toward the edge rapidly, it pans the game screen away as if

Hi everyone, I have a problem playing fullscreen flash videos with wine. Whenever I try to maximize an embedded flash video (for example in youtube), my screen freezes and I have to Ctl+Alt+Backspace. I have disabled compiz just in case it's messing things, but nothing changed. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 in X86_64. Does anybody know why this might be happening?
