    Running Wine Game with xinit problem

    Hi,

    I am running an old game using playonlinux through xinit to provide a 16 bit display (which the game needs to run)
    I use this command:

    xinit /usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "Moto Racer" %F -- :1 -ac -depth 16

    The game works fine doing this BUT the display of the game only takes up the top left quarter of the screen and the rest is black.
    What's odd is i am using Kubuntu and have this problem but in a previous installation on Ubuntu it runs filling the full screen using exactly the same command.
    Is there some little option I am missing here?

    Thanks for any help

    I'll mark this as solved. I have found that there is a command line option to moto.exe -fullscreen. Doh!

    Yeah i didnt think that running in a window was the problem i always presumed windows games from that era defaulted to full screen. Oh Well we live and learn!
