Frozen bubble full screen3/30/2023 ![]() I have an NVIDIA card with proprietary drivers, so it’s possible that your graphics card/driver and window manager (Marco/Compiz) will play a role here too. It may change but not switch back for instance, or it may not apply the correct resolution and start spanning the screen with the cursor. If the game is requesting a resolution that isn’t the same as my monitor (1920x1080) then I may encounter full-screen problems. I use Wine perfectly well for a number of Steam and non-Steam games. I hope there is a way to do this in Linux? So my thought for a workaround is that if I create a batch file and let it run automatically after the boot of the desktop this should resolve the issue as well. Maybe there is something going on inside the xrandr realm with the 2 screens etc. ![]() and run “xrandr -dryrun” and this resolved the issue again. ![]() In the man page I noticed that a dryrun extension is possible and when I reboot the laptop (closed screen, external monitor connected on docking) I confirm the windowing issue by opening the application through Wine. So I went looking for the command behind it and came accross xrandr. I have to give an update though on the issue itself, I think I might have another clue.Īs said before the problem disappears when I go into display settings and only apply the existing resolution config. even if it’s for playing around with virtual box. ![]() Thanks Steve, I am not intending to use it online so will certainly go down that route. But would prefer to know the location of a log which indicates something on why he doesn’t switch resolution when requested by the game through Wine to Ubuntu. Why does he change mood?Īnyone up to helping me find this issue? I will try running Wine with Sudo now to see if there isn’t a permission issue or something. My questions would be, why is my previous setting lost? Why doesn’t he start again after a reboot, and later if I reboot again he might allow to put it full screen. I don’t have a clue where to start looking but would guess something with X. I reboot the laptop and this full screen setting seems to be lost as my application starts in windowed mode again? At this stage when I try to change it into full screen in-game there is a small full screen black blink and the window is back windowed as if nothing happened.When I tag it, the screen blacks out, switches resolution and I’m full screen in 800圆00 which is great. When launching a game, it pops up in windowed mode, the maximize screen button is greyed out and in the options menu of the game full screen is deselected.Wine configured as Win XP, all Graphics options currently untagged, (with the window manager options the problem was existant).Frozen-Bubble (Native Linux game) doesn’t seem to have this issue and switches to 800圆00.Setup: docking station, VGA connector with Linux resolution running in 1280x1024 60Hz.So let me list some of the facts else people will ask me to press alt-enter or adjust size in-game So it looks like some setting is interfering with the resolutionswitching which needs to take place.I have an intel graphics chipset. I run small games which function very well in Wine, however for some reason when I restart the laptop the games seem to be having difficulties and all of them start windowed… there is not much consistency in that. I have an issue with Wine on Ubuntu mate.
