Hi, I'm a newbie...

Took a look at the older threads, and could not find any answer.

I have just installed Wine, PlayonLinux and the KOTOR 1.03 game on my machine :

- Intel Core 2 Duo ;
- Asus Motherboard ;
- ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT with restricted catalyst drivers (fglrx) in perfect working order ;
- Ubuntu Gutsy, 1024x768 display, and compiz-fusion is disabled.

I patched KOTOR to avoid the securom protection.

Here is my issue :

- if I use GDI as the DirectDraw renderer in Wine, the fullscreen game itself runs perfectly, but only if I disable the cutscenes (otherwise the game freezes) ;

- if I use OpenGL as the DirectDraw renderer in Wine, the cutscenes seem to work, the graphics seem much better, but the resolution is messed up : it's a fullscreen, but the game's display (not windowed - I don't know how to obtain windowed mode in wine) only occupies a small part of the screen.

My alternative seems to be :

Either run the fullscreen game without the cutscenes, or run the not-fullscreen cutscenes and not being able to play the game.

My question is : Is there a way for me to run KOTOR fullscreen with cutscenes & all ?

I cross-posted in the Wine section, as I realize the Games & Leisure section may not be the better place to ask for help concerning my specific issue.

Thanks for your help.
