SoulSe Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Now that I'm down with Linux gaming, I'm starting to get fussy: Two of my games (Quake 3 & UT) refuse to run full screen, UNLESS I set them to the same resolution as my desktop. My machine, on the other hand, can't handle this resolution for games. All my other opengl games (quake 1, tux racer, etc) run full screen no problem, even though their resolutions are lower then my desktop. But when I open Quake3, for instance, I get it running smaller and all out of place.... I know there are lame work arounds for this (like creating a user with a different res. for games) but like I said, I am being fussy now. So if anyone can help me, please do...

DOlson Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Just add more resolutions to your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. For example: Section "Screen" Identifier "screen-normal" Device "device-normal" Monitor "monitor1" DefaultColorDepth 24 Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubsection EndSection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted November 26, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 I tried that, didn't work (with those two games, others are fine). I reckon I'll just stop being fussy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 Are the games using hardware acceleration or software rendering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted November 27, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 Hardware Accelereration Dude... You'd need a serious cluster running to play my games with software rendering :wink: I guess I need to educate myself more with XFree, adding resolutions to my config file doesn't work though, which is weird.
