Can't get games or other programs to be fullscreen

Post by Doodle »

Hey, I am relatively new to Linux and Wine. I installed wine and every thing works alright but non of my window programs are opening in full screen. They all take up about one quarter of my screen. I have tried changing the resolution and desktop size but no matter what I do I can't get it to be full screen. Anyone got any advice?

In winecfg, check or uncheck Emulate a virtual desktop.

Look in your Wine settings and see if you have "Run in Window" checked..
If so remove it PM me and let me know.

Isn't it better to keep the posts public so several people can help with the problem?
