Yah that is pulled in by default when I emerge nvidia-drivers in gentoo. I have gone through all of those settings. Right now everything is on application controlled and pretty much default. I use that when I need to set up a dual monitor. I don't think it is an nvidia issue since I can duplicate all of the same problems on an ATI based machine.
I did however manage to cob up a somewhat backwoods style hack job work around for my full screen issue.
1. Go to desktop background settings and change the background to just black
2. Start the game in windowed mode and center it in the desktop.
My desktop resolution is 1680x1050 and I need to run EQ in a window that is 1600x1024, because if I run it in a 1680x1050 window the wine menu border on top of the window causes the bottom of the window to be cut off and my mouse to click in the wrong place. If I scale the window down to 1600x1024 the window fits perfectly vertically and I have 40 pixels on each side of the window. With the black background it blends with the black border of the screen and looks like I am playing the game in a letterbox. Before my desktop background was too distracting.
This is very tolerable until real fixes can be found.
Like I said its not pretty but it gets the job done. I have a feeling my spell effect problem is related to me not being able to use pixel shaders 1.4 or 2.0
More research and trial and error shall tell.
Hey at least we beat this dead horse till it flipped over a bit!
