hey there! i'm trying to get Wine (wine-crossover-games) to work as fine as the actual Crossover does. It plays games like Undying and Giants pretty well. Wine, however, does not work in Fullscreen. I installed via macports, everythings fresh. When I active the virtual desktop everythings fine, but w/o it, i'm presented with either a blank screen or errors like "could not start 3d device", "unable to initialize renderer". dxdiag won't even start, so i don't know about the d3d status. Any clues?
General Wine on Mac OS X is not be as good as Crossover right now when it comes to fullscreen and resolution switching. Crossover has its own x.org based X11 server it uses. Normal Wine has to use the systems X11.app (Xquartz). Xquartz right now does not support the RANDR extension at all... so even if you get an app to run in fullscreen on normal Rootless, the top menu bar and the dock will till be shown, and the app cannot change the resolution. What you can do... as a work around. Change your OSX resolution to what the game wants. Launch X11.app. Change X11.app preferences to run fullscreen mode. Then launch the Wine game.... this will work for some games... other games need multiple resolutions and you need to use a virtual desktop in full screen and kill off quartz-wm or stop letting it manage/decorate windows... All that said, I've played around with this a lot in making Wineskin (http://wineskin.doh123.com), and have some workarounds built in so resolution changes and stuff can be semi-handled. You may want to try that. Current release is a bit odd to use. I have a TON of improvements coming when I release Wineskin 1.0 in the next week or so though.... including being much more user friendly.... but its still going to take me awhile to get the FAQ and manual all made.
actually, i kept browsing the net yesterday searching for a solution and stumbled upon portingteam.com and your excellent tool! i immediatly made a nice wrapper for undying, which now sits nicely with its own icon and all in my dock. it runs just as flawlessly as crossover. great work!
