Making Civ V work under Linux

After numerous attempts I've happened upon how to get Civ V for linux to work under the lastest version of Ubuntu.  It appears that the game doesn't like dual monitor setups.  For me this manifests as an extremely small display on one of my monitors of the initial splash screen generally with missing parts.  After a lot of research I discovered the config file.  :~/.local/share/Aspyr/Sid\ Meier\'s\ Civilization\ 5/GraphicsSettingsDX9.ini"  There are 3 settings to tweak FSResID, WindowResX, and WindowResY.  The trick is to set WindowResX, and WindowResY to your monitor's resolution.  This might be enough but most people find they need to tweak FSResID.  I can't find a reference to what the settings mean, but in general it appears you can set it from 0-9 or more.  The larger numbers seemed to work well for me.

I used:

FSResID = 9

WindowResX = 1600

WindowResY = 900

This resulted in a full screen display 2/3 on one monitor and 1/3 on the other, but it worked well enough to change to windowed mode.  (Which honestly is what I wanted.)

My wife the writer

I'm so impressed with my wife.  Some people afflicted with migraines that made going to the office 9-5 a migraine trigger hell of florescent lights and eye strain would simply give up.  Instead my wife is busily reinventing herself as a writer. Work on a her novel continues a pace (although she has yet to let me read more than the occasional snatched glimpse), and she posts weekly on the flourishingedge blog.  Now we've started studying html competitively as part of our gamification of our lives with habitrpg.  Brenna is not one let anything define her.

It's a lucky thing that as a geek I make enough to not worry about the loss of income.  Sure I was happy when we became DINK/DILDOs (dual income no kids / dual income large dog owners) as the extra money was nice, but I've always subscribed to the idea that past a certain point more money doesn't make you happier.  There are some classes of problems that throwing money at will completely solve, but past that you have to ask yourself what personal cost does the increasing your income cost? Ah 1st world problems....
