[mdlug] Domination Game for Linux

[Ingles, Raymond]

I used "HDMI1" as an example; you may well be using DVI, or DisplayPort, or even VGA as the connection to the monitor. (On a laptop, it might be LVDS.) Running 'xrandr' without arguments will give you a list of what connections you have and which are in use. Just something you might check...

And much, much later...
I tried the "xrandr" both ways with no effect.
The monitor screen remained messed up after running Risk in Wine.
However, if I logout and then immediately log back in, I get my nice MATE desktop back!
