Summary: Game in Windowed Virtual Desktop Changes Refresh Rate (Diablo II) Product: Wine Version: 0.9.20. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx-ddraw AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: capitalista@gmail.com
My screen resolution is 1280x1024@60hz. I created a virtual desktop so I could play a game (in this case, Diablo II) within my WM. However, while playing the game, it would change the refresh rate. My screen would turn much brighter, and it wouldn't go back to normal unless I exited the game, although sometimes I would have to revert the change manually.
My guess is that it was changed to 85hz, a valid mode for me at lower resolutions, but not at 1280x1024.
It seems that the refresh rate should stay at whatever the actual screen is set to, and should only be changed when the game is running full screen.
Hope this can be fixed, and hope this is filed under the right section.
