wine users - Aug 2008 - Screen Resolution issues

Hi. I'm having a rather peculiar problem; when running any fullscreen game
that has been set to a smaller resolution than the one I'm using (1680x1050,
I have a widescreen monitor), moving my mouse to the edges of the screen kind of
shifts the view.

For example, I have Warcraft III running at 1280x960, I move my mouse to the
right edge of the screen, and then the view moves along with the mouse so that I
can only see the right side of the menu, and lots of black on the right. On some
resolutions I can even move the view up or down. The size of the area in which I
can move around seems to be 1680x1050.

This issue was not in 1.1.2, so its probably a regression. The weird thing is,
that I have been trying to run a regression test, but the problem always
appears, and I can't find the patch that causes it. For example, now
~/wine-git/wine --version
outputs
wine-1.1.1-269-g27ce47a
but the issue still appears, even though it doesn't appear in 1.1.1 or 1.1.2
(its 1.1.1 because I found nothing with 1.1.2 being the last "good"
release). Running with the actual wine-1.1.2 release the issue does not appear.

I guess I must be doing something wrong with the regression testing, but I
can't figure out what. Any ideas will be welcome.

Might try with a clean ~/.wine each time...Could be something getting
corrupted on a first run causing the problem. Doubtful, but worth a
try.

If anything, do:
$ rm -rf ~/.wine
$ git checkout -f wine-1.1.2
$ ./configure && make clean && make depend && make
$ ~/wine-git/wine setup.exe
# test app
$ rm -rf ~/.wine
$ git checkout -f wine-1.1.3
$ ./configure && make clean && make depend && make
$ ~/wine-git/wine setup.exe
# test app

To make sure it's wine causing the problem. If so, carry on like I
described.

Sounds like you disabled xrandr extension and using xvidmode (
http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys ). Also make sure that you do have
requested resolutions - run 'xrandr' and check it's output.
