wine users - Jul 2009 - fullscreen uses panning, and xrandr has cursor moving

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 1280x960 screen is moving around the larger
1920x1200 desktop, with the 1280x960 game display at the lower right corner of
the larger desktop.

If I run xrandr manually before launching the game, e.g.,

xrandr --output default --mode 1280x960

then panning no longer occurs, so the game display stays on the screen, but now
a different problem occurs: The mouse cursor moves slowly toward upper left
corner by itself, as if adjusting to a scaled coordinate (maybe scaling
1920x1200 to 1280x960? I don't know.) I can move it around, but it still
slowly heads toward the upper left corner. Obviously I can't control the
game movement that requires the mouse, as it slowly moves the 1st person view
toward the sky for example.

How do I solve this problem?

Setting DXGrab on or off has no effect.

I found the cursor moving problem is related to compiz. If I disable compiz, it
works.

The desktop panning was not related to xrandr. I found that halo crashes and
defaults to 640x480, not 1280x960. So it was properly running in 1280x960, but
with 640x480 screen (not 1280x960 in 1920x1200).

Oh well, halo crashes while quitting and I've no intention to disable
compiz.

This appears to be a X11 issue.  BTW, you did not mention what type of PC you
are using, could you reply with this information?

What you describe is an "XVidMode" way of changing resolution. Wine
uses that if xrandr is disabled (via registry) or not available.
