Title: Monitor Resolution snafu ... what to do ??? Post by: xlancealotx on March 18, 2008, 03:12:46 PM ok, used to be playing on the Dell 22' widescreen, but now I want to one up it. I have my machine running, video out going to a matrox triple head 2 go connecting to 3 of those dell 22' widescreens. Also, the box is running linux (Fedora 8), and it's sweet....
The default resolution right now is 3840x1024 and now I want to play q3 on it! If I execute the ioquake.i386 I just get a black screen, don't really have any config moved over, so I am assuming it's trying full screen. I tried a simple; r_custom height/witdth and r_mode -1, but same results. So what's a guy to do? Thanks all.... Title: Re: Monitor Resolution snafu ... what to do ??? Post by: Snickersnack on March 18, 2008, 05:44:11 PM That sounds neat. I've never tried a multi-head setup. I'd kill for something like that.
A few questions. Are you launching OA from the console? If so , are there any error messages? Have you ever successfully run OA under Fedora? I'm running Debian and getting DRI to cooperate can sometimes be a PITA. Title: Re: Monitor Resolution snafu ... what to do ???

Title: Re: Monitor Resolution snafu ... what to do ??? Post by: xlancealotx on March 19, 2008, 07:13:40 AM Yep, was that simple. Things are a bit distorted, so I am reading on changes such as the fov which may help, there are a bunch of tweaks, and not sure if I will be able to really play, but it does look pretty sick ....
