Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a bit of hand holding here.
I've gone over the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gaming) and tried googlin' for the correct way of doing this, however I can't seem to find a way to launch this correctly via WINE.
It's 2 AM and I'm exhausted, but I can't seem to get this to work.
Would someone mind showing me how to do this properly?
I need to start the .exe with 'wine start /home/NuMPTy/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/StarCraft\ II/StarCraft\ II.exe'
Thanks

Here's my wine-running howto.

Please tell us what exactly the problem is: no X shows up, X shows but the game doesn't run, any errors in the logs?

The secret sauce seems to be to add 'exec <your wm>' at the end of your .xinitrc (I use a separate one named '.xinitsc2')
xinit .xinitsc2 -- :1
.xinitsc2:
wine /home/nathan/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/StarCraft\ II/StarCraft\ II.exe
exec dwm
Works here.
dwm is a very light wm so it won't have an impact on your gaming experience and it takes half a second to start up :-)

Actually - no issue at the moment. I just wanted to ensure my config was correct
I'll try these out when I get home.
Thanks!

Alright - newbie question #2 (sorry - I've never been great with xorg)
The steps karol have provided work perfectly. I have a separate x server being launched and SC2 is executed via wine correctly
My xinitrc2 looks like:
setxkbmap -option -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
wine /home/NuMPTy/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/StarCraft\ II/StarCraft\ II.exe
exec dwm
The only problem I've got now is that SC2 is utilizing both monitors (well, all of my primary and the left half of my secondary).
What can I put in my xinit to force a single monitor to be used (and define the resolution)? I've seen setups using xorg.conf, however I'm not sure how I can incorporate that.
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried the way the wiki says:
xinit /usr/bin/nexuiz-glx -- :1 -xf86config xorg-game.conf
?
Does
xinit .xinitsc2 -- :1 -xf86config xorg-game.conf
work?

Sigh - I apparently missed that. I'll give it a try.
Thanks again karol

Works like a 'freakin charm.
