escape from monkey island direct3D problem

[MARKY J]

hi there, im really new to linux and wine (about 2 days new now) and am having a few problems playing escape from monkey island

everytime i load it up using the direct3D option i get a message saying unable to initialize hardware, if i open it using the openGL option it works but in a tiny screen. then i discovered the same result happens when i emulate a desktop using wine's configuration using the direct3D option, still small screen.

i have found this quite strange because, on direct3D, the very first time i installed, it worked fine fullscreen, then never again, i have tried reinstalling linux, updating drivers and other little tricks i can think of but with absolutley no luck.

when i try to install the graphics drivers into wine i get problems with windows sp's (i know this a fake windows but they can at least let us off)

anyway if anyone out there can help me sort this problem out, it would really be appreciated.

thanks to all in advanced

Use ScummVM, Luke!

No this is part 4 which isn't based on the scumm interpreter and the GRIME engine isn't supported by scummvm. You just have to run it on Wine. If the game doesn't switch to full screen either wine wasn't compiled with xrandr (unlikely) or you don't have the needed resolutions in your xorg.conf.

Make sure that 'xrandr' command lists all resolutions your game needs. If it doesn't, configure you X (xorg.conf) with appropriate entries.
