opensuse 12.1 / wine 1.4 settlers IV ver 2.50.1516

Version wine 1.5.5 same problem

How can i enable 16bpp modes in xorg.conf for Ubuntu Hardy?
Which lines i have to modify or add?

Settlers IV works great on Kubuntu 7.04 feisty fawn with wine 0.9.51. I only changed Video.cfg to (see other posts):

ForceBlit = 1
PureSoftwareMode = 0
ShowVideos = 1

Using Wine 0.43 on Zenwalk 4.6.1 (Slackware derivate)I got this game running, but I am not really sure what did the trick to make save/load work.
In Video.cfg I changed the above notes and also changed ShowVideo to 0. Even without the nocd crack the game runs perfectly, but I use it anyway, because the game including 2 expensions is 3 cd's. It is not possible inside the game to change to hardware textures.
Save/Load does not crash, but in winecfg I had to enable window manager controlling (I am in Dutch, but it is the second option under 'graphics'.) If not I am not able to use the keyboard to enter a name for my savegame.

You have to add the following options to your Video.cfg, or the game will be way too slow:
ForceBlit=1
PureSoftwareMode=0

That's old thing, Wine 1.6 runs perfectly without those. However, I'm running Kubuntu 13.04 x64, so I can't upgrade to 1.7.7 to test, but it should work just as fine.
