Public bug reported: Binary package hint: wine
If I play a game like Starcraft (though it triggers on others) Wine can properly downgrade the resolution to 640x480, or whatever the game prefers. When I quit the game, the whole X server goes down when Wine tries to restore it. What's bizarre is that this happens ONLY if Wine has focus though when the application closes. Example: Starcraft for various reasons only functions if Wine (and not the window manager) is allowed to manage the windows. So what happens is that if I hit ALT-Tab, another application will have focus, but Wine will still draw on top of everything (my cursor reverts to standard, and Wine's app will not recieve keyboard input). If I click the exit button after alt-tabbing, X wont crash. If I don't do this, and try to exit normally, X will crash. This did not happen before I upgraded to Jaunty. I am currently running nVidia drivers (and I was before) and I've run both "blessed" versions and those straight from nVidia on both setups (pre and post Jaunty upgrade). This has not affected Wine's behavior. I'm filing this under Wine because native apps (or at least gnome- display-properties) seem to have no problem messing with the screen resolution, as well as the aformentioned work around. The Wine PPA has not helped address this issue. ** Affects: wine (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Wine crashes X when restoring previous resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
