Game screen too big for display on Samsung NC10

[Boblebad]

Hi

I found a game called "The Mysterious Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde" and installed wine, and it runs fine, though the screen is too small, or the game is too big for the screen ...

I don't emulate virtual desktop, and have tried to make the window smaller, but it only makes the game"window" smaller too..

How do i make the game smaller, so it fits my screen ??

Samsung NC10 is a widescreen netbook, screen resolution is 1024*600

Ohh, forgot...

I run Wine on Linux Mint 9

Wine does not perform any screen scaling. If your game doesn't support required resolution there isn't much Wine can do about.

Dunno if it's a good idea to play on a netbook

That was exactly the answer i was afraid of..

But Wine could have scrollbars in such situations

Look up information about virtual display resolutions - it lets you set higher resolutions on your screen where it'll scroll around as you touch the visible area's border.

The game is simple and requires very few resources. The only problem is the screen resolution.

a lot of things around the web say that game will run down at 800x600 ... did you go in the game or game config files and set it to run at 800x600? If you had it set that way it should show up fully on your display.

Have tried that, but it does the same as sizing the virtual desktop, only making the window where the game is smaller, so it just cuts some view of the away..

In my etc/x11 i have a file that's nearly empty called "Xwrapper.config"..

When running xrandr in terminal, i can see that i can change the virtual display to up to 4096*4096, but when trying to change it, nothing happens, and nothing happens when changing "Xwrapper.config" file...

And using the example from the xrandr manual just gives me errors..

Well

Thought i found a really nice guide to how to change the resolution, but it didn't work out well, it crashed X, i don't know if any can see what's wrong with the guide, or if it's me that has misunderstood something...

I read on another page that one needs to have a "virtual" line in the config before it would work using virtual screen ..

This is how easy it is - oh my God

sudo xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 --panning 1024x800

So it works now (albeit with some panning)?
