About

Fake drive - is a directory which holds a virtual windows drive with separate wine settings (drives, virtual desktop, special dlls and so on). On end of this wizard q4wine will create windows fake drive and configure the general wine settings.

Fake drive wizard will helps you to make all necessary steps for successful Wine prefix creation.

You can navigate through setup process by pressing Next button to go to the next wizard's page, or by pressing Back button for return.

Direct 3D settings

On this step you will need to specify direct 3d settings.

Note: Leave it blank for default.

Option name	Description
Multisampling	Allows/disallows the use of multisampling. Multisampling is not allowed by default although it works fine in a lot of cases.
DDraw Render	Select what backend to use for DDraw. Valid ptions are: gdi: use GDI to draw on the screen (slow but reliable) opengl: use OpenGL (fast but not all programs work correctly) See http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectDraw for more information.
LockMode	RenderTargetLockMode selects which mode is used to read and write the framebuffer while it is locked. auto: same as readdraw at the moment, will do benchmarks and use best method later disabled: effectively disables render target locking readdraw: uses glReadPixels for reading, glDrawPixels for drawing readtex: reading with glReadPixels, drawing by drawing a textured quad texdraw: readback using a texture, drawing with glDrawPixels textex: readback using a texture, drawing with a textured quad See http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectDraw for more information.
Offscreen Mode	OffscreenRenderingMode selects which mode is used to render offscreen images/textures. backbuffer: the rendering is done in the backbuffer pbuffer: uses PixelBuffers fbo: uses Framebuffer object See http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectDraw for more information.
Use GLSL	When set to "disabled", this disables the use of GL Shading Language for vertex and pixel shaders, it will result in a fallback to ARB shaders. By default GLSL is enabled when available. (It is default as of 29/10/2007 or Wine 0.9.49) See http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectDraw for more information.

Description	It's just video card description text, needed by some games and wine third party patch sets.
Memory (Mb)	Sets the amount of emulated video memory (in megabytes). Default is a simple autodetection based on the card type guessed from OpenGL strings and extensions. Note: In most case it is better to set it manually.
Driver	It's just video card driver text, needed by some games and wine third party patch sets.
Software emulation	Use software emulation for d3d.
Pixel Shader Mode	Allow use for pixel shader mode.
Vertex Shader Mode	Sets mode for vertex shader mode.

OpenGL and Direct Input settings

On this step you will need to specify OpenGL and Direct Input settings.

Note: Leave it blank for default.

Disabled extensions	Space separated list of OpenGL extensions that are not reported to applications. Example: "GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object GL_ATI_fragment_shader".
Mouse Warp Override	Override default mouse pointer warping behavior. enable: warp pointer when mouse exclusively acquired disable: never warp the mouse pointer force: always warp the pointer
Joystick exes mapping	This maps axes of joystick "joystick name". The "axes mapping" is comma-separated list of "axis type"s - one for each joystick axis (hat-pov uses 2 axes). "axis type" is one of: X, Y, Z, Rx, Ry, Rz, Slider1, Slider2, POV1, POV2, POV3, POV4. To find the joystick name run: 'WINEDEBUG=+dinput wine game.exe 2>&1 | grep joydev_enum_device' Example output: trace:dinput:joydev_enum_deviceW Enumerating the linux Joystick device: /dev/input/js0 (Logitech Logitech Dual Action) Example registry entry: "Logitech Logitech Dual Action"="X,Y,Rz,Slider1,POV1". (two "Logitech"s not a typo)

X11 driver settings

On this step you will need to specify X11 driver settings.

Note: Leave it blank for default.

Option name	Description
WithRender	Set this to "N" if you don't want to use the Render extension to render client side fonts.
AA WithRender	Set this to "N" to disable font anti-aliasing when X-Render extension is present.
AA WithCore	Set this to "N" to disable font anti-aliasing when X-Render extension is not present or disabled.
UseXRandR	Set this to "N" to prevent wine from switching the resolution using XRandr extension.
UseXVidMode	Set this to "Y" to allow wine switch the resolution using XVidMode extension.
