Quake3 does not load up in fullscreen on my box, even though the config file is set:

r_fullscreen 1

If I check the command, while in Quake3, the variable is definitely set to 1. Any tips?

My current WM is Fluxbox, my desktop res is 16x12 and I'd like Quake3 to be 10x7. My monitor definitely supports 10x7 (game at that resolution frequently on my Win2k partition.

The Nvidia drivers are definitely installed for X and GLX (the game is defintely accelerated for speed, and X starts with the Nvidia splash). But I can't figure out how to get the game fullscreen.

Does your XF86Config have 1024x768 set?

I have something like this:

Code:

                Modes     "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"


My desktop starts up in 1152x864, but I need the other ones in my /etc/X11/XF86Config as well, if I play games at those resolutions.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Zu!

That was it, I added the lines and all was set. Now that I remember configuring Xfree, I took out those additional modes, figuring I wouldn't need them at all.
