fullscreen only in native resolution

[Brombor]

hi

i can play planeshift in fullscreen mode only in the resolution my desktop is. windowed mode works perfekty for me in all resolutions. any idea?

Not really sure... works fine for me in dapper and edgy.  What exactly happens when you try to play a non native resolution in full screen?

Looks like a bizzare driver issue.  What kind of video card is in your computer?

nvidia 6700
driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8178-pkg2

ok, do this in terminal

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and see if the resolution you are wanting to use for the game in fullscreen is in the area called 'Section "Screen" '... it is just a guess but if you don't see it and add the resolution to the 24 depth section you might have better luck

all resolutions are there, that is not the problem

Hi.

driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8178-pkg2

1. Why do You use almost 1-year old driver ? Maybe it is time to update ?
2. Do You use TwinView ? If yes - try disabling it.
3. What is the output of command "xrandr -q" ? Does Your monitor handle refresh rates reported for all resolutions ?

i am now using the latest driver, does not work

i have a 1600x1200 resolution and the monitor makes it @80hertz - so i think lower resolutions are ok, too.

i can switch to lower modes without problems

Hmm... I've checked it on 32- and 64-bit systems, on 32-bit FC5 switching resolutions works fine, on 64-bit FC6 I get the same results as You do. I suppose it is a bug in Xorg or NVidia drivers. So - no solution for now.
