Thanks, that fixed the first problem, is there a way to get wine to play this game in full screen (without filling in the extra space in black, as it is in the picture) as it is meant to be?

Edit: i seem to have changed some other settings. Before FM08 had an ubuntu style top border, and i could move the window around, now it dosen't, how can i turn it back?

Run 'xrandr' and make sure it lists the resolution your game wants.

yes i think so, it seems to cover a lot of resolutions

1440x900 50.0
1280x800 51.0
1280x768 52.0
1024x768 53.0*
840x525 54.0
800x600 55.0 56.0
800x512 57.0
720x450 58.0
640x512 59.0
640x480 60.0 61.0
640x400 62.0
640x384 63.0
512x384 64.0
400x300 65.0
320x240 66.0

That's not what I said. What resolution does your game want? Also that applies to frequency as well. I see you have some invalid entries there with <60Hz refresh rates. Which means you have enabled twinview - which is known to be buggy.

[Falc7]

Edit: I believe the game wants 800*600

With invalid entrys, with less than 60hz, would it be better for me to change the screen resolution to something with higher Hz refresh rate, what would you recommend?

Disable twinview if you are not using it:

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
  Driver       "nvidia"
  Option       "DynamicTwinView" "FALSE"
  ....
EndSection

Should i put that in the terminal?

No, that is a part of xorg.conf. Read nvidia driver readme for more information.

[Falc7]

I think i understand, so it should look like this?

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection

Changed to:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
Option "DynamicTwinView" "FALSE"
EndSection

ok i have done that
The game only runs in 800x600, so is there a way to fill in that black area and make it full screen?

The game have to switch your resolution to 800x600. Wine does not scale any image.
