[SOLVED] WoW wine resolution problem

[john-tomhas]

Hi. i have installed wow on wine and it runs i just have few small problems. i used envy to configure the graphics drivers and now my desktop max resolution is 640x480 and in wow the max resolution is 800x600.

i am running an Nvidia GeForce 6600 video card and i have burning crusade if that helps

This doesn't really sound like a Wine problem, but rather a configuration issue with your xorg.conf. Why don't you post the contents of it so we can review it.

[john-tomhas]

here it is

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder63) Tue Nov 4 14:07:17 PST 2008
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by failsafeDexconf, using
# values from the debconf database and some overrides to use vesa mode.
#
# You should use dexconf or another such tool for creating a "real" xorg.conf
# For example:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

That ain't right at all. This is why I prefer to not use Envy and stick with the built-in restricted drivers manager.

Before I give you any fixes, which version of Ubuntu and the Nvidia driver are you using? Also, do you have multiple monitors connected?

i am using 8.04 and i dont know what Nvidia driver. i have used Envy before but i uninstalled it and got the driver off the Nvidia site and i have installed that and still my desktop max resoulution is 640x480. also when i use the built in drivers manager i dont get direct rendering. when i use the built in drivers manager the
glxinfo | grep rendering command puts out

Alright, this xorg.conf should get you working. It is the most basic config you can have and still be using the Nvidia driver. Try it out and if it needs any tweaking let me know.

Before you replace the existing file, make a copy of the old one:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_bak
If the new xorg.conf fails to work at all, you can restore the old one by simply running this from the console:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf_bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Open the original xorg.conf in a text editor:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Copy the following and use it to replace the entire contents of your original xorg.conf:
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Save the file, then reboot your machine, it should work at much greater resolutions now.
