Fullscreen

Stormy · Post by **Stormy** » Jun 24, 2005 13:38

Hi qmunity,

here's my current problem, that will be hopefully fixed soon by your assistance ! ;)

How it comes, that fullscreen works under linux by this command

Code: Select all

SCREEN 18,16,2,&H1

and not by this command

Code: Select all

SCREEN 14,16,3,&h1

?

First code creates a fullscreen of 640x480 pixel and second one does the half (320x240). Any idea about this?

regards,
Stormy

Your display driver probably does not have a 320x240x16bpp mode. This is not uncommon.

You can try tweaking your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file (or /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you have xorg instead of XF86) and adding the "320x240" mode in it... The list of modes X should init at startup is listed somewhere near the end of the file (can't remember the section name).

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
HorizSync 31.5 - 68.7
VertRefresh 50 - 70
Option "DPMS"
# === mode lines based on GTF ===
# 320x240 @ 60 Hz, 31.5 kHz hsync, 4:3 aspect ratio
ModeLine "320x240" 12.588 320 336 384 400 240 245 246 262 Doublescan

[ Other stuff ]

EndSection

This should do well....But unfortunetly it returns no window-screen back :/

DrV used a double-negitive innapropiatly when he wrote:This is not uncommon.

Bah, no, that's what I meant. It's common. Therefore, it's not uncommon. :)

I know, but most of the time it is considered inappropriet grammer to use double negitives.

But what I really wanted to say was that it is common, but not too common - therefore, it puts an emphasis on the fact that it's not unheard of, but it also doesn't happen to almost everyone, either.... :)

Still, why do you care? Aren't we supposed to be helping this guy out...
This is an online forum - where people do write quickly and make spelling/grammar errors - even you -
you spelled inappropriate wrong in your last 2 posts in this thread.

Going back to what we should be talking about:
Did you restart X? (ctrl+alt+backspace), because the config file is only loaded at startup.
