wine users - Jan 2010 - help with a small custom patch?

anyone wanna help me with a small custom patch?  should be very minor.

I do not know where in wine this modification should take place, and 
basically... what I need is, when a program running in Wine tries to make a
resolution change, I just need Wine to like echo back the resolution that was
called, into.. somewhere... stdout, a file, whatever.... and thats it.

I need this to work around RANDR missing from Xquartz, so I can manually have
another program change resolutions for me for fullscreen gaming on OSX.

I have everything worked out, except I need Wine to be abel to tell me what
resolution was called.... is there somewhere I could already get this info... or
I do not mind a small patch with aline of code or two that just reports this out
somewhere i can read it.

You don;t have to write a full patch for me, just maybe some help of where to
actually look in the source... where the info is and received... just something
to get me going in the right direction?


If you can think of a better way to get this info from Wine without customizing
it any.. I'm all for that, i just need to be able to get the resolution that
is called for from the software...

There should be a WINEDEBUG option for that....

Possibly xvidmode:

thats great.. actually i can find the info I need in x11settings....

the problem is making this info usable.

Is there a way to make it so a certain debug channel debugs to a certain place?

Like can I tell it to do all the x11settings stuff to x11settings.txt file by
themselves and not go along with everything else?  I'm thinking no.. but it
would be nice if it could be separate....  I might just modify settings.c to do
this for me, if it can't be done otherwise.

didn't even think of that.. too simple :-P

thanks a ton, got it all figured out and working... no Wine code needing to be
changed is a good thing!
