DPI slider

Post by arthur1950 »

Hello there,

I installed Championship Manager 01/02 using the brilliant Wine on my Ubuntu 10.04.1 system. It installed fine, but when I was in the game the mouse wasn't visible at all. I thought it may have been a graphics issue so started fiddling with the graphics settings in the wine configuration menu. As part of this experimentation I moved the dpi slider right up to maximum and applied the changes. Now of course all the text in the configuration menu is enormous and my screen isn't big enough to get down to the bottom to bring the slider back to minimum.

I have tried completely removing and reinstalling Wine itself using the packae manager, but the problem remains. Is there a config file somewhere that I can edit and change a number, or perhaps an even easier fix?

Thank you,

Aurthur

Have you tried dragging the window down using the alt key and dragging the window?

Thank you DaVince. I just tried this, but it just made the whole window move around the desktop. I tried shift and ctr too, but to no avail. I really need scrollbars so I can scroll down and change the slider, but there are none. Either that or maybe someone knows of the correct config file in which I can change the number manually.

Solved -
It was a combination of checking the box which allowed the window manager to control the windows and then holding down alt to scroll down to the dpi slider.

Many thanks for your prompt expert advice everyone. I am most grateful.

Anyone have the slightest inclination why the mouse disappears when I try to play the game? When I move the mouse into the running game it disappears, but is still usable - eg, when I click it responds accordingly, I just can't see where I've clicked.
