Title: Ubuntu window mode
Post by: toth on April 27, 2013, 02:56:53 pm
Hi at all,

i have not found any thread or command-line flag regarding my "problem".

When i start the fso-engine in fullscreen or in fullscreen-window(which doesm't seem to be working properly)
i cannot reach the right and bottom end of the screen, seems like there is some kind of border to the cursor
and the resolution doesn't seem to be right either.

So i decided to play in window mode. No issues with that, graphics look fine etc, but i would like to set the size
of the window because it seems to be only 800x600 and thats a bit small on a 24" screen.
Any suggestions how i can afford a bigger size of the window in window mode?

It's been a while since i last wrote in english, please feel free to ask if something is not understandable.

greets
Toth

I haven't heard of the problem with fullscreen & the mouse that you describe. 

Also, as far as I know fullscreen-window only works on Windows.

Lastly, to set the resolution in window mode you have two options.

1) Use wxLauncher (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=67950.0) and set the resolution on the 'Basic Settings' tab
2) Use the command line flag '-res 1440x900', and replace 1440x900 with whatever resolution you like

Hmmm, are you sure you set the correct screen resolution in wxLauncher (the way niffiwan said)? It could be related to your fullscreen issue as well.

i use the yal-launcher and there seem to be some issues because settings are not completely written in the config-files, so i do this manually.
the resolution command-line flag solved the issue with the small window, thx a lot.
