Summary: Wine should restore the initial graphics mode if an application exits abnormally Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-kernel AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: t.artem@mailcity.com
Sometimes DirectX applications crash and leave your desktop with a changed resolution e.g. 640x480. This shouldn't happen - wine should restore the initial graphics mode if an application exited abnormally.
Right now you have to `xrandr -s 0` or use any other utility.
