I have a two-screen Ubuntu 10.04 that I've been using with wine for a few Windows programs for a couple of years quite successfully.
Yesterday I changed the DVI screen to a VGA (using a little DVI->VGA adaptor, but obviously still the same place on the same graphics card). I then found that the screens were a little messed up and had to do a bit of re-configuring (I think it really got the 'main screen' wrong) but the X and Y ranges should still be the same as before, indeed it now looks the same as before.
However when I run one application under Wine I get:
fixme:mpr:WNetGetUniversalNameA ("Z:\\home\\graham\\.wine\\drive_c\\Program Files\\Ameol2\\Ameol232.exe", 0x00000001, 0x32f138, 0x32f54c): stub
err:win:WINPOS_GetWinOffset bad hwndFrom = 0x10056
err:mmio:MMIO_ParseExtA No . in szFileName: ""
In fact the initial loading banner is displayed but not the main screen and the task manager has the app (ameol232.exe) as 'pipe_wait' after the message above is displayed.
I have run another WINDOWS program under wine successfully since I changed the screens but that has a fairly simple interface.
By searching I did find references to WINPOS_getWinOffset and it appears to be in Wine and it does appear to be related to window position so perhaps playing with the window config has caused this.
So is this a problem with wine ? This is version 1.2.3, which seems to be the latest available for Ubuntu 10.04. If so is there anything I can do ?
Or is it a problem for the app. (Ameol), which with a couple of exceptions does run quite well in Wine ?
Or a case of re-installing and hope it goes away ?
Any suggestions ?
thanks
