Wine/WoW not detecting monitor hz

fullyspenged · Post by **fullyspenged** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 8:35 pm

WoW detects my monitor hz as 77, 78, 79. 80, 81, 82

but not 60hz which it should be!

This causes a lot of tearing which can be annoying. Is there any way of fixing this?

What are your monitor settings in X.conf?

Also, Vsync doesn't work in it. That would solve my problems.

You do not have any modes configured except one. Also you didn't disable twinview which screws up refresh rate.
Run 'xrandr' to see what all resolutions available to Wine.

Why doesn't it detect 60hz as it should be? Twinview is set to "0", doesn't that mean it is off? Hmm...

Spent 20 seconds on google to see how to disable twinview, the solution was:

Code: Select all

    Option	   "DynamicTwinView" "False"

In the device section. Now I can pick 60hz in WoW, problem solved.
Thanks!

New problem, Vsync and Triple Buffer works great in fullscreen mode, but when I try to do it in Windowed mode I get:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/wine: line 4: 10789 Segmentation fault      LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/lib32/usr/lib/:/opt/lib32/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" linux32 /opt/wine/bin/wine "$@"

Any ideas?
