well, as far as the video goes, change the resolution of the game to match your default resolution and color depth. Or add a few lines to your XF86Config to add a few other resolutions. Here is a sample of how my Display section reads......
 
DefaultColorDepth 24
 
Subsection "Display"
 
Depth 8
 
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x400"
 
EndSubsection
 
Subsection "Display"
 
Depth 16
 
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
 
EndSubsection
 
Subsection "Display"
 
Depth 24
 
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
 
EndSubsection
 
EndSection
 
 
The first resolution listed on the list is the default. To switch between resolutions just hit Ctrl-Alt-(either the + or - key depending on which way you want to change the resolution)
 
For the sound....what kind of sound card do you have?????

sorry, I'm not much help with the sound driver....You might try posting something to the transgaming site to see if anyone has run across that problem. Other than that I don't know.

thanks so much punkisdead. by the way, what is that video setting for? my problem is that the game is executed in the window so i was not able to maximize the window. therefore the game view is not wide

As long as you have a matching resolution in your XF86Config file to your resolution that you run the game at....it should run fullscreen then.

Transgaming recommends that you disable ARTS, Esoun, and whatever other server you are using before starting a game in wineX. Something about the sound servers interfering with the way Winex handles audio.
 
If you are in KDE, then unless you've tweaked the settings ART starts by default. Disable this, then try again.
 
Should work fine.

just to point that, you can run Warcraft3 with wine, but you are limited to OpenGL
 
I can asure you that theres no diference beteween the 2 but This is an option, if anyone doesnt want to to pay to have the winex binaries or cant grab the sources from CVS for free.
