[Bug 44364] New: Wincfg does not save graphics preferences

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44364

Bug ID: 44364
           Summary: Wincfg does not save graphics preferences
           Product: Wine
           Version: 2.6
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Mac OS X
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

When using wine 2.6 under MacOS 10.12.6 (Sierra), when opening winecfg and
trying to change the settings under the graphics tab, it is not saved upon
apply->OK.

The changes made were

"Emulate a virtual desktop" -> YES
"Desktop size" -> 2560x1440

This is required to prevent wine from using two monitors (the secondary monitor
is just blacked out) when trying to run full screen applications (mostly
games).

I understand that wine 2.6 does not keep a ~/.wine configuration directory but
rather uses registry settings but I can't find the required keys in regedit and
I can't find where it is set by looking through the source:
https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/blob/master/programs/winecfg/x11drvdlg.c

Please let me know if I'm missing anything or if this is intended behavior.

Thanks.

The issue is that virtual desktops don't work when using winemac.drv. We should
probably either disable the option or don't show it at all when using
winemac.drv, although that's not quite as trivial as it may perhaps sound.

My apologies for the duplicate report - I didn't search for just that option in
the bug tracker.

Thanks for the prompt response, I'll just live with one monitor blacked out I
suppose.

I wonder if it will be possible to override this somehow on the MacOS side of
things itself?

For what it's worth, virtual desktops should work when using winex11.drv with
XQuartz. That setup has its own disadvantages though.

Not that I'm aware of, but I'm by no means an expert on the subject.

Is there a way to force wine to use that driver?

You can use the /desktop option to explorer:

explorer /desktop=name[,widthxheight[,driver]]

E.g.:

wine explorer /desktop=notepad,1600x1200,x11 notepad
