WineX problem
 
Hi!

I am using Slackware 9.0.
And have downloaded WineX.
When i try to start autostart.exe from my half-life CD, its tells me this:

Quote:

bash-2.05b# winex3 autorun.exe
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 15 (X_QueryTree)
Resource id in failed request: 0x1e00004
Serial number of failed request: 201
Current serial number in output stream: 201
bash-2.05b#
It's the same with Valve Hammer Editor beta 3.5
I found a post with the search, that was the exactly the same question, but i founded it out by him self! And he didint tell what to do.
I have googeld around with google.com/linux, and has added this

Option "IgnoreEDID" "1"
The the XF86Config file.. :(

edit: and by the way, i have the linux kernel 2.4.21 ;)

that option you say you added is for disabling the probing of EDID (extended display identification data) from your monitor, as i don't see why you would be doing this as your not having a monitor problem...and you must pass a boolean to that option, and i am not sure if 1 and 0 values are accepted but they very well maybe...anyways this could be dangerous if you don't know what your doing and you should leave this at the defaults to use EDIDs...anyways...:..
try running:
setup.exe as opposed to the autorun.

I have try to run setup.exe...
the "blink" rectangle just stands there and blinking, and blinking, and blinking....
Ok, i'll remove the EDID line. and try.

And i downloaded a GeForce driver and installed it, when it was done, i configured the XF86Config, and started x, yeah! the pic of the nvidia logo shows up! but(!), its 300x200, i removed that states from the XF96Config, then i gave me an error, "No availeble modes for screen0".

EDIT: To delet the EDID helped me with the res! thanks! But i still have my WineX prob left :newbie:

lol ignoreedid could very well be causing that 300x200 res. but it may not be, so you should double check your res modes in the x config file and see if you have the proper resolutions listed in there..
