I use xquartz 2.7.4 on osx 10.7.5 on a macbook pro.
I prefer to run games like Simcity3000 or Jagged Alliance 2 not in fullscreen mode, because of a flickering bug. I read that this bug comes from osx, rather than from xquartz/wine. So, when the game starts in fullscreen and the flickering appears, I use Cmd+Opt+A to exit the fullscreen mode and play it in a (unmovable) window which is fine for me.
Two weeks ago, I updated wine with the 'sudo port upgrade wine' command.
Now, when I try to run games like Simcity3000 or Jagged Alliance 2, the Cmd+Opt+A command is no longer recognized.
Are my language settings (German keyboard layout) broken so that wine or xquartz do not recognize the keys? Or was the Cmd+Opt+A exit-the-fullscreen command somehow removed from wine?
best regards, P.
I updated wine, but now Cmd+Opt+A no longer works
Re: I updated wine, but now Cmd+Opt+A no longer works
Because your new Wine version is no longer using X11/XQuartz at all... and thats what your shortcut is for.
winemac.drv is default now instead of winex11.drv on OSX... and it does not support anything like that, or even Virtual Desktops, which really hinders a lot of usefulness.
You'll probably just want to change your install so it will use X11 again.
You'll need to run regedit and go to... Current User -> Software -> Wine -> Drivers and add in a new option called Graphics if its not there... and set it equal to x11. If its set to mac, or doesn't exist, it uses the mac driver, if its set to x11 then it uses X11/XQuartz.

Well, thanks a lot to you, doh123. Now that explains everything.
I hope xquartz will get more window manager functions one day, e. g. putting applications, that run in a 'fixed window' after exiting their fullscreen mode, into a real movable window.

you should be able to do that already.edited wrote:Well, thanks a lot to you, doh123. Now that explains everything.

in winecfg set it to use a virtual desktop, and set the resolution. It will make a window that the game will use like its fullscreen. This will only work with X11 though, not with the winemac driver
Re: I updated wine, but now Cmd+Opt+A no longer works
The 'new wine' somehow doesn't work well with the xquartz. Some of my other windows programs have buggy x-windows now. Skyglobe's window cant be resized anymore, and in photoshop, i can't reach all points of the screen with the mouse anymore, the pointer just stops in the middle of the screen. I'll use the 'new wine' and ditch the xquartz, reactivating it only for those two old games. Photoshop and the others even seems a little improved.

Don't mind what I just said on window managing. I just saw that, with wine cfg, I can switch this stuff on if I like.
