Linux, Wine, and Myth II

[princepawn]

Hi, I read through the older thread on Linux and Myth II. They were using free versions of cedega. I'm using the 2005, May 24 version of Wine that I downloaded, compiled and installed myself.

I installed Myth II from CD and then upgraded it to 1.51 using the patches from projectmagma.

I can startup Myth to the initial menu screen but I can go no further... the mouse just sits there jerking back and forth.

The entire error log is here:
http://www.hcoop.net/~terry/tmp/err.log

I will paste the first 60 or so lines of the entire 331 lines here... that pretty much gives the big picture. Any help is appreciated. Hurry! MWC2k5 is coming!

I think from my experience, only Software Mode worked, and only with sound disabled (enabling sound tended to crash it). Also, to get out of the initial "mouse cursor frozen" mode on startup, I believe I had to tab in and out a few times. All of these seems to be issues with Wine/Cedega's emulation of Windows functionality.

Well how do I get to software mode? This is happening immediately upon invoking myth.

As I said, you have to tab out and in a few times to regain control of the mouse.

Hooray!!!!!! Software mode and a quick CTRL-tab worked.... now, it's not a big deal, but I would appreciate any input on how to return my Desktop to it's original resolution as starting up Myth puts my whole desktop in some sort of low-resolution mode like 640x480 or 320x240 or something....
