Does the SVGA version work when run with the command from the .desktop file?
Yes, it works.
lsl6-cd is the "gameid" from larry6.yaml. In the case of the VGA version, Alexandre filled in lsl6-cd when he first added support for this game; in the case of the SVGA version, I guessed lsl6hires.
Yes, and scummvm's gui uses the same gameid. But it works only if the game was found by gui. --detect finds the engine name as gameid. And it works! $ scummvm -p /usr/share/games/larry6 --detect ID Description Full Path -------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- sci Leisure Suit Larry 6: Shape Up or Slip Out!

SCI [SCI0, SCI01, SCI10, SCI11, SCI32] Starting 'Sierra SCI Game' The game starts successfully. I think it's a scummvm's bug, but not sure if i going to report it.
