I have been trying to get wine up and running for some time. I work with the Debian Linux system with a KDE Desktop. Debian is supplying version 1.0.1 . I just installed the .deb file from the Wine website which is version 1.1.24. That is the highest version available for the Debian system. All of the versions that I have tried have the same thing wrong with the graphic interface. I will use winecfg as an example. The configuration screen shows up in the 800 x 600 mode with the lower half of the screen cut off by the size of the wine desktop. The wine desktop is not re-sizable, has no scroll bars and is about 1/4 the size of my 1280 x 1024 KDE desktop. All of the control buttons at the bottom of the winecfg screen are cut off. There is no way to change the settings. Notepad works fine but can not be resized. I've tried to reset the video mode on KED with no improvement. Internet Explorer runs but shows in 800 x 600 mode. How do I get control of winecfg. Yes I am not running in root.<br>

Delete the your old version per the instructions, then add the repository per the instructions. Since there appears to be no Debian maintainer, that's as far as you can go unless you learn to compile your own, or can find some way to get someone to do it for you.<br>
