Installed Pinball in Wine 1.4-1pclos2012 a couple of months ago. It
used to go load fairly quick and full-screen with F4. Now the sequence
of events
is this: Snap on the icon. Entire screen turns black. About 30 seconds
later, a small picture of the pinball machine shows in the middle of the
screen.
It could be played--the various things work--if you could see it! OR:
Snap on the icon. A small window of the pinball machine shows up in the
top left
corner. Push F4 and the screen turns black and a small version of the
machine goes to the center, as in the first instance. I don't think
I've done any video
modifications lately. I snapped on icon settings, and I got a text file
that I can't cut and paste, but I'll type it in:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Pinball
Exec=env
WINEPREFIX="/home/doug/wine"wine C:
\\\\windows\\\\command\\\\start.exe
/Unix
/home/doug/wine/dosdevices/c:/users/doug/Start\\
Menu/Programs/Games/Pinball.lnk
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Path=/home/doug/.win/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Pinball
Icon=E4C_pinball.0
Icon=E4C_pinball.0
One other thing--when Pinball worked, it worked fine, but on trying to
exit, it was a little stubborn, and it moved a lot of icons around on my
KDE desktop. It's a pita to have to move them back! Now, I just hit
ESC and Pinball is overand the screen returns to normal, and the icons
have not moved out of place. This is of course, a secondary problem. I
can't play Pinball on a 2"x4" pinball machine!
Any suggestions?
