If it's a real Windows driver, it's not going to work with Wine. Wine runs Windows software, not drivers.

Note that I have not checked the details on the software itself. But it definitely sounds like it would hook into your existing drivers to generate the effect efficiently.

Are you sure you're using Wine, in Linux or OSX? As far a I know Linux and OSX have NO blue screen.

And to ask the other one i know of Driver intel mobile 965 express chipset. Is there a way how to install Wine on my graphics as Open GL. How to use the Open GL in Wine. It should just work if OpenGL works on your Linux system. Have you tested that (by using glxgears, or a OpenGL-requiring game lik...

Quick tip: in by far most file managers you can press Ctrl+H to display hidden files.

I've encountered something similar just once, but it worked after rebooting (or maybe even relogging in). Tried that?

i know that Linux and WINE are not in love with ATI cards (yet), but i It's that ATI/AMD is notoriously not in love with GLX or OpenGL on Linux unless someone makes them stand-up like in the case of Rage in the Windoze world. I'm sure the WineD3D devs have stories of submitting bug reports to ATI. ...

Could you tell me if this also works with the GeForce 540G, or that I'll just have to try it out myself? (Don't have access to the notebook with that GPU right now.)

Try DOSBox, not Wine. Even Wine tries running DOSBox when it finds an executable is DOS-based nowadays.

Does it happen on other (non-Wine) games when you go fullscreen? This doesn't really sound like a Wine problem...

You should probably ask the person who packages Wine for your specific distro. What you should be wondering, though, is if you actually need it. Wine can run easily through the file manager and terminal, and applications themselves tend to make shortcuts in a Wine submenu (unless this is exactly the...

Hi dimesio . Unfortunately I can't say if that fixed it or not, because TF2 had yet another patch just awhile ago. Whichever one did the trick, it works now. The easiest way to find out is by reverting the config files you changed to their original values. But I'm pretty sure that is what did the t...

You don't necessarily need the terminal for all tweaking; the proprietary graphics drivers have a graphical tool that's called Catalyst Control Center that also lets you set up some stuff. Fedora is also has the new Gallium-based open source drivers, which perform much better than the old open-sourc...

Have you checked the AppDB? There seems to be an entry there, showing old results of varying success.

Also, post terminal output.

Have you tried if Wine works with a different prefix? If that launches, the old prefix you copied over from Ubuntu has somehow become corrupt. I went from Ubuntu to Fedora installs without any issues, so I wonder what went wrong.

Does this happen in all software? If so, you can open winecfg and change the default font under the Desktop Integration tab.

If that didn't work, try it with a clean wineprefix.

I might also have been wrong about SHIFT_JIS, or that page I referenced is incomplete. The Japanese character sets it shows are:
ja_JP.eucJP
ja_JP.UTF-8

For korean: LANG=kr_KR.SHIFT_JIS wine appname.exe ?? For Chinese LANG=zh_CN.SHIFT_JIS wine appname.exe ?? No, there's different character sets for that. SHIF_JIS is really meant for Japanese. I might be wrong, but Korean has two character sets: ko_KR.EUC-KR ko_KR.UTF-8 And Chinese has these: Simpli...

You can use localegen to add locales to the system (for example ja_JP.SHIFT_JIS). Then you can run the application in the appropriate locale by doing: LANG=ja_JP.SHIFT_JIS wine appname.exe Make sure you also have some Korean and Japanese fonts installed. You can find them in the Add/Remove applicati...

an error with winewdm.exe

Well, what error? If you see an error or any other message printed, copy and paste it. "An error" isn't very helpful (though it's good you mentioned winevdm at least).
