------- Additional Comments From jake.msstate@gmail.com 2006-13-07 22:27 ------- I tried the original exe and had the same problem.
Next, I tried switching to a 4:3 format. I had to edit xorg.conf and add Modes for this. I had been letting my screen resolution be auto detected (not specifing anything). So I added this
Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1920x1200" "1680x1050" "1440x900" "1280x960" "1024x768" "800x600" EndSubsection
and restarted X.
Now, warcraft does not crash at all. Even when resize and rotate is set to 1920x1200, it starts fine. However, warcraft only detects the sizes 1280x960,1024x768,800x600 i declared. It does not allow 1600x1200 (it did before i edited xorg). One wierd side effect is that when the game quits, a green box is left that is the size of the resolution that the game was running at before it closed. A manual refresh of the desktop makes it disappear.
so maybe this is an issue between wine and xorg/xrand. Maybe a note should be made about not having a 4:3 resolution listed in xorg to keep people from thinking wine doesnt work?
