Hi all, I'm new to wine, and this is my first post here, so please forgive me if this information is available elsewhere. I have tried searching regular Google and the custom search on this site, but I can't seem to find the right keywords to get the answer to pop up. Anyway, here is my problem. I am using Wine to run a couple of games under linux. One of those games is Eve Online. Almost everything is working fine (I applied the appropriate patch). I am running the game using the following command: Code: wine explorer /desktop=1,1440x900 "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe" I'm not running it directly as the game is less crash-prone this way. Here is the issue. When I run the game directly through wine without using the 'explorer' command, my keyboard works correctly. However, when I run wine with 'explorer', I can no longer use the CTRL key in-game. The desktop manager (gdm) still catches CTRL keypresses. In addition, key combinations like ALT+F1, which work correctly in game in the former instance, are sent directly to gdm in the latter. How can I make it so that Wine will send the keypresses to Eve first, then onto GDM? My setup: Wine 1.1.17 + model patch (installed using apt-get source wine; patch; buildpkg; dpkg --- debian toolchain). Ubuntu 8.10 Dell e1705 laptop (if that matters). Thanks and regards, z.

I'm guessing GDM disables all of it's hot-keys. With explorer (aka virtual desktop mode) GDM has all it's hot-keys active. Not much Wine can do about that.
