[edit] Running Guild Wars on a separate X server
Once Guild Wars is proprely configured you may create a starter script that will create a new X11 server and use it for Guild Wars uniqly. Do to this create a new text file named GW-1.1.3 and fill it with:
#!/bin/bash export PATH=/usr/local/wine-1.1.3/bin:$PATH X :1 -ac & DISPLAY=:1 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine WINEDEBUG=-all wine "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe"
And set it allow-execute bit:
chmod a+x GW-1.1.3
Run this script to start Guild Wars with the newly installed wine:
./GW-1.1.3
This should run the game on a new X server, in case of problems press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to close the game and the new display.
