Fatal Error

Post by lartdude »

I would like to run the freeware software "Plastic Animation Paper" using Wine and Ubuntu. When Trying to run I get the message "

Code: Select all

Unable to set up graphics mode, graphics card must be capable of running 800x600
" with the title "Fatal error". Now my graphics card may be an internal laptop one, but it is capable of running at well above 800x600 and successfully handles this program in windows vista natively, and 98/XP in virtual box.

After spending quite some time searching the closest thing I could find suggested using:

Code: Select all

xrandr -s 800x600
with only one monitor active, however it didn't work. I have also tried unsuccessfully setting the Wine configuration to emulate a virtual desktop of 800x600 and just about all the settings in the Graphics tab.


(PAP4.0) (http://plasticanimationpaper.dk/)
wine (1.2.2-0ubuntu2~lucid1)
Ubuntu (32bit, 10.04, modern kernel).

Thanks for all the help and great project!

Is that mode listed in xorg.conf? It needs to be.

There isn't anything in xorg.conf except:

Code: Select all

       Identifier  "Tablet"
       Option "Name" "usb-UC-LOGIC_Tablet_WP8060U-event-mouse"
       Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
       Driver          "wizardpen"
       Option           "TopX"          "2650"
       Option           "TopY"          "3563"
       Option           "TopZ"          "10"

I also would like to run PAP but have the same issue.

I don't have graphics mode in xorg.conf as it is no longer used for this.
Have tried to add "Mode 1920x108 "800x600"" in xorg.conf but the system doesn't want to boot in graphical mode then.

I had the same problem . PAP stopped working after an update.

Heres what I did,

I am on Kubuntu Maverick

Uninstalled Wine and ran 'sudo apt-get autoremove'

Deleted .wine folder from home directory

Downloaded wine version wine1.3_1.3.26-0 from here

http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html

Installed gdiplus from winetricks

And installed PAP 4.0

Also disabled wine update for now.

Everything works just fine.
