--- Comment #4 from Luke Bratch l_bratch@yahoo.co.uk 2010-10-23 09:49:13 CDT --- I have since noticed that this bug occurs if the specified game resolution is available in X RandR. If I make the resolution unavailable (by removing it as an option in the Nvidia driver settings) then the problem does not happen. This is not a suitable fix, as games in Wine no longer see that resolution as available (which I want them to), but might be worth noting.
E.g. with xrandr's output like this, the bug does not occur:
Screen 0: minimum 2560 x 1024, current 2880 x 1200, maximum 2880 x 1200 default connected 2880x1200+0+0 0mm x 0mm 2880x1200 50.0* 2560x1024 51.0
However like this, it does occur:
Screen 0: minimum 1600 x 1200, current 2880 x 1200, maximum 2880 x 1200 default connected 2880x1200+0+0 0mm x 0mm 2880x1200 50.0* 2560x1024 51.0 1600x1200 52.0
(Note that my screen setup is now a 1600x1200 screen and a 1280x1024 screen, unlike in the original report.)
