Fullscreen StarCraft on Linux WINE

In order for StarCraft to launch full screen WINE needs to be able to change X11 resolution.
Unfortunately, on new laptops the graphics subsystem only reports resolution native to the LCD display, thus the only resolution available in X on my system is 1280×800.

I needed to add one more – native to StarCraft – and let the graphics hardware scale it to full screen.
It’s pretty easy using XRandr extensions:

$ cat .xprofile
xrandr --newmode "640x480_120.00"  52.41  640 680 744 848  480 481 484 515  -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --addmode LVDS1 640x480_120.00

    Dzięki, chciałem sobie odświeżyć Starcrafta, ale miałem sporo problemów z odpaleniem pod Wine, w końcu jako tako działa :D
