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@winehq.org ReportedBy: ezekiel000@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.

Try http://wiki.winehq.org/256ColorMode for workarounds.

--- Comment #4 from winetest@luukku.com --- I experienced the same issue at bug 34127 that you cant go lower than 640x480 resolution. 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.

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.

--- Comment #6 from Christian Weiske cweiske@cweiske.de --- I have the same problem with wine 3.19 and the game HEDZ (H.E.D.Z) that wants 16 bit colour depth and refuses to start under 24 bit.

--- Comment #7 from Ken Sharp imwellcushtymelike@gmail.com --- Is this still an issue in Wine 7.9?
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20843
--- Comment #8 from Christian Weiske cweiske@cweiske.de --- This bug still occurs with wine 7.12 on Ubuntu 20.04. Enabling the virtual desktop setting does not make a difference.

--- Comment #9 from Christian Weiske cweiske@cweiske.de --- This bug still occurs with wine-8.0-rc2 (Staging) on Ubuntu 20.04. Enabling virtual desktop does not help.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20843
--- Comment #10 from Christian Weiske cweiske@cweiske.de --- Error message from HEDZ is:
ERROR
H.E.D.Z will only run if your backdrop is set to High Colour (16bit) format. Please right-Click on the desktop, select 'Properties' and then 'Settings', then set the desktop colour to 16bit before running H.E.D.Z. again.
