[Bug 20843] New: Virtual colour depth & full screen resolution?
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20843 Summary: Virtual colour depth & full screen resolution? Product: Wine Version: 1.1.33 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: ezekiel000(a)lavabit.com Would it be technically possible to implement a virtual desktop that allows you to set the colour depth and resolution, but then wine will stretch the virtual desktop to full-screen or to a custom resolution? What would happen if you fooled a game that needed 256 colour depth into thinking that's what it is running in while it is actually running at 24bit? I ask this as I am unable to change my colour depth and reduce my resolution below 640x480. And even when I could change my colour depth it meant restarting the X-server. I assume other people will also have this problem. -- 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.

I mentioned a patch over that bug that does trick a game think it's running correct depth of color. You may want to try that patch but you need to compile wine yourself. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

You are able to set lower values for virtual desktop, but the resolution must be the ones mentioned at dlls/winex11.drv/desktop.c currently they are static const unsigned int widths[] = {320, 400, 512, 640, 800, 1024, 1152, 1280, 1280, 1400, 1600}; static const unsigned int heights[] = {200, 300, 384, 480, 600, 768, 864, 960, 1024, 1050, 1200}; I think wine should add at least 1920x1080, maybe some higher resolutions too, some 4k monitors can set a lot higher resolutions that wine lets currently. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

ERROR

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20843 --- Comment #13 from Christian Weiske <cweiske@cweiske.de> --- The HEDZ error message ("H.E.D.Z will only run if your backdrop is set to High Colour (16bit) format.") still occurs with wine-staging 11.0-rc3 on Debian 13 under Gnome Shell 48.4. Running Xephyr as nested X server with 256 colors as described in [1] does not help, and running it with 16bit colors gives a AMD driver error:
_amdgpu_device_initialize: amdgpu_query_info(ACCEL_WORKING) failed (-13) amdgpu: amdgpu_device_initialize failed.
.. which probably means it's running in 24 bit mode. Starting HEDZ in this Xephyr display gives the 16 bit error again, validating my suspicion that X uses uses 24bit. ---- I think that Wine needs a way to report 16 bit color depth to applications.
