Low resolution in Linux...

brumbrum · 07-30-2008, 09:08 PM

Hello!

First of all, I wanna say that I like Regnum very much, and I really appreciate that there is a Linux-client developed, and that time and effort has been put on both 32bit and 64bit-clients.

However, at work today I showed Regnum to a friend that puts his free time in W.o.w instead, and I noticed one detail that differed alot between the windows and the linux-clients: The possible video-resolutions in the option-menu.

In Linux, the highest resolution I can choose is 1280x1024, but at work (Windows XP) I was able to select 1600x1200 as resolution. Is there any way to get this resolution in the Linux-client, or is it locked to 1280x1024? Would be nice to play at higher resolutions since I have a very good computer and a Nvidia 8800GTS videocard.

BR

Hi Johan

i'm not quite sure, but i think the client gets resolutions from Xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 try adding the new resolution you want there... and see if the game get it too.

i play under linux and higher resolution:

start game, accept license, enter password, klick OPTIONS (upper corner), change resolution up to 1680x1050x32. If it isnt listed you might need to add those higher resolutions into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (BACKUP FIRST !!)

most probably the 1680x1050 part is missing in youir file, so just add that one then.

Could it be that my second screen has other resolutions, and that regnum reads these instead of the one on my first screen? Because the resolutions I can choise in regnum are the one specified in that section.

I made it work!
Thanks for the tips to check the Xorg-conf.
I simply activated Twinview, and then it worked like a charm. I now have all possible resolutions to choose from, even fullscreen over both displays ;-).

Thanks again!
