[newbie] Wine and Steel Panthers

2003-01-20 Thread Vahur Lokk
OK, for the first time I have found a good use for wine. Being a military 
strategies fan I installed Steel Panthers World at War and succeeded running 
it with wine (from Mandrake 9.0 CDs). Which makes me really happy.

I still have few problems. 
1) SPWAW is supposed to run fullscreen. And so it starts. But touching right 
or lower edge of the screen with mouse will move the game window and my 
desktop (with abnormally low res) appears below that. Going to left or upper 
edge moves the game window back. Its quite annoying as the same mouse 
movement is used to view different parts of the battlefield. 
So how to make the game window really fullscreen or at least standing on one 
place. Wine runs with 800x600 res, my desktop is a lot better but I can't 
remember exact figures. Changing wine.conf did not do the trick.

2) There is no sound. This is much less of a problem but still - should wine 
know about my soundcard and be able to make use of it?

Have you dug into your WINE documentation for the sound configurations?
I had to muck around with the /etc/wine.reg, /etc/wine.systemreg and
/etc/wine.userreg aside from numerous other little bits and bobs before
being able to play HL fullscreen - AND getting sound (I mistakenly set
the audio device to /dev/audio when it's actually /dev/dsp)
