Summary: Wine should use XRandR for resolution switching Product: Wine Version: 20030318 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-x11driver AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.com ReportedBy: dux-bugzilla@acz.org
I play Counter-Strike using Wine, and while the game itself plays perfectly there are several problems related to screen resolution. Starting Counter-Strike changes to a virtual resolution (i can still scroll over the rest of the desktop with my mouse) fine, but when I join a game the resolution changes back to the deskop resolution and i have to change the resolution maually using ctrl+alt+minus. This wouldn't be such a big deal, except that the game isn't always exactly centered and i have to scroll the cursor to center it. Sometimes while playing the game will somehow become off-centered again, and i'll have to exit out to the menu to get a cursor to recenter it. Another problem is that the game will place dialogs offscreen that should have been centered, apparently because it's using the real X resolution for the screen dimensions rather than the virtual one.
I'm sure similar problems exist for other games, and while there are other ways of fixing them, implementing XRandR for resolution changing is probably the "right" and simplest way to do it.
