http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15881 --- Comment #13 from Jörg Höhle <hoehle(a)users.sourceforge.net> 2009-05-19 06:13:37 --- I found a work-around: Press F6 when the screen is black. This works with both Pharaoh and Cleopatra in 1.1.21. F6 is not documented in Pharaoh's manual, but it corresponds to the in-game menu -> options -> graphics -> "Fenster-Modus" (in German) / window mode. F7: 640x480 F8: 800x600 F9: 1024x768 F10: undocumented, causes a mini-icon to appear in the top left corner in desktop mode and the game pauses. Is this iconification? Pressing F6 during game play produces a notice that switching to "Fenster-Modus" failed. The visual effect looks like F6 restores a sane screen after some failure to switch to another mode, that's why this trick works. The F6 trick cures black screens in both full-screen and desktop mode in Kubuntu and Ubuntu Hardy for Pharaoh and Cleopatra. I wrote in comment #10 that Hardy worked fine for me, but todays testing with 1.1.21 showed some black screens when trying and switching among the 3 resolutions. The main difference was that Pharaoh typically starts with a correct screen, while Cleopatra typically starts black. Black screens show up in both winecfg's full screen and desktop window mode. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
