Moving the panel to the bottom or fading it away did not change anything. Problem: The main menu has a downward offset in both cases, displaying or not displaying the upper panel on either of them. Installing and starting the game works well. If it weren't for lack in disk space, I'd install the same setup on my third engine as well for testing purposes. I installed this configuration on one good widescreen laptop and one average PC with 4:3 monitor, the laptop using 圆4, the PC using x86. I'm using the latest Wine 1.1.3.1, Ubuntu 9.04, latest (177?) NVidia hardware drivers, BF1942 patched to 1.61b with and without the DC_Final mod.
