Anyone know a fix for this screen size. I've downloaded wine and so, and tried different settings in the GTA manager but nothing helped.. Picture is not getting attached but should show an screen where only the gameplay is shown in a little screen on my laptop..

I'm not sure if I understand what your issue is but if I am correctly understanding, what I would try is setting up a virtual desktop in Wine. You can do this by running winecfg in a terminal to open Wine's configuration application, add GTA 2's executable to the applications tab, select it so that you are only changing settings for GTA 2 and not everything, then go to the graphics tab, select emulate a virtual desktop and set the desktop size to the resolution you want.

Not sure. You could try running it in Valve's gamescope compositor. Maybe the game only supports that low resolution

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
