Full screen is very stretched and windowed mode is too tiny to be playable. Anyone know of a way to adjust the resolution for either of those modes? My native desktop res is 1920x1080.

Either scale 4:3 aspect ratio on your GPU or monitor. Fullscreen the game is running at a lower resolution.

Scaling down my desktop is a pretty horrible idea. The best solution would be to run it in windowed mode but force the game to scale to 1024x768 or whatever I have my wine virtual desktop set to. I've tried all kinds of tweaks but can't seem to find the right combination.

Particularly as it wouldn't help. The game is running 640x480 or 800x600. I forget which. Set your GPU to scale those resolutions fullscreen while keeping the aspect ratio. Alternatively, change the settings on your monitor so it isn't stretching the 4:3 resolutions.

My setup does not support any resolution other than 1280x900 - anybody know what file I can adjust to modify the screensize?

I haven't tried it yet as I've yet to install the Linux release, but I believe that WeiDU and the Widescreen mod will work.

After messing with this for a few hours the other day, I found a great solution. It's not perfect and take a little work to setup but it works great after you get everything going. You basically setup a nested X session and then connect to it via VNC and let VNC do the scaling. It's easier than it sounds.
This pretty much covers the procedure:

That solution is actually based on this post:

The only catch to doing this with the GOG installation is that you need to go into the wine_standalone directory and edit the wine-virtual file. Change the line that calls wine to look like this (assuming you setup the nested session on display port 5):
DISPLAY=:5 "$CURRENT_DIR/bin/wine" explorer /desktop="GOG","${GOG_VIRTUAL_RESOLUTION}" "$GOG_GAME_EXE" "$GOG_GAME_ARGS"
Then select (windowed) mode when you run the start.sh script for Torment.
...ok, so I'm trying to post this and it's telling me "You cannot post any links at this moment." No idea why. Google "Force a Wine Virtual Desktop Size" and it should be the first hit on Ubuntu's forums.

You may not have a high enough REP to post links yet in the forums.
