GTA San Andreas Issue

vanguarda · Post by **vanguarda** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 2:32 pm

I trying play GTA San Andreas and it is returning " Cannot find 800x600x32 video mode". I worried so my wine games pointed for a Working Directory that register a dosdevice instead of drive_c. Thereby I'm getting" /home/normal/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Rockstar Games/GTA San Andreas" path and "win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x177f6dc,0x00000000), stub!" konsole erro. Can be a wrong in Working Directory the main problem in my system with this wine 1.1.11 program???

looks like you have DynamicTwinView enabled (which is default in nvidia drivers). Disable it by adding this "Option" line to your video device configuration section:

Code: Select all

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

And restart X (logout).

Vitamin your my hero (for the week). Having the wrong refresh rate in xrandr has being bugging me for over a year now. I have being using nvidia-settings to set the right refresh rate and overrides in wine to stop it from using xrandr wrong refresh rate.

Something to note about using "DynamicTwinView" "FALSE" you need it in the second device section or it does not work.
Ones you have set that option nvidia-settings will not let you change refresh rate or resolution.

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
Vendorname "NVIDIA Corporation"
Option "DynamicTwinView" "FALSE"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
Vendorname "NVIDIA Corporation"
Boardname "GeForce 6600 GT"
Option "DynamicTwinView" "FALSE"
EndSection

Three cheers for Vitamin!

You should really have only one, unless you have 2 video cards.

This is a small output of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Strangely my nvidia-settings command returns " nvidia-settings: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_has_current_point". What's this Option "DynamicTwinView" "FALSE"????

Hi!!! I edited xorg.conf but unfortunately it wasn't the solve!!! In fact, I was very intrigued about sentence "RTFM. Nvidia driver comes with pretty extensive (and really useful readme)" and googled about this RTFM term and DynamicTwinView Option... So I was trying to install wine correctly since last month. I tried a wine 1.1.12.tgz and it was broken. After that I installed wine source code enabling open-gl wine flags and erros... Searched about ways to fix it using gecko and didn' t get sucess! So support suggested to install another version and now I installed a 1.1.11.tgz and there are problems yet. Then some questions occurs in adition to large quantity of erros in it. Then I'll continue but I think newbies like me should be pointed to urls only in weaks questions!
