I don't play games much, but sometimes it'd be nice to be able to.
I have a problem with Diablo II Lord of Destruction (expansion pack)
game. It works fine in DirectDraw 2D mode but is not so 'shiny', it
looks much better in Direct3D. When I set it up to run in 3D HAL mode it
starts OK, but then after intro the whole screen goes white. When it's
run in window I can quit but if it's full screen mode nautilus hangs and
my desktop is all blank - have to manually delete metacity saved session
files. Moreover, in windowed run it seems to be changing the whole
colour palette - all windows colours are very pale.
I use Debian Sid on AMD64, nvidia drivers (proprietary - to get 3D
working), Gnome.
I looked at winehq, but the game is described as working. Any hints?
Not sure if it helps, but on exit it returns the following errors (cut
to the relevant part I think):
...
fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from
32 to 16
