Invariable fedora games try to start up full screen and completely mess up my displays. Sometimes it is quite a challenge to get back in to a state where I can restore my settings without logging out and logging back in. Please make your games start in windowed mode. Let the user choose later to go fullscreen. Or make your came properly save the xrandr state and restore it, including dual head. Don't EVER go to mirror mode. Two sample great games that just don't do full screen dual head smart: extremetuxracer angry dwarves Oh, and can't full screen be just one head? The video players can do it. How about the games? Thanks guys! Keep the great games coming. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2009 10:31:09 +0100 From: Guido Grazioli <guido.grazioli(a)gmail.com&gt; Subject: Re: Please Default to Windowed Mode or Get RnR right To: Fedora Games <fedora-games-list(a)redhat.com&gt; Message-ID: <2f984ea00911020131k58894d76sfb8b2168b5093e82(a)mail.gmail.com&gt; Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 2009/11/2 Joel <jdy(a)cryregarder.com&gt;: > Folks, > > I run dualhead, either 2x1920x1200 or lowresx1080P.

I had the same problem with nvidia binary drivers and twinview; it went away editing xorg.conf, adding the resolution needed by the game to MetaModes, ie MetaModes "1680x1050, 1680x1050; NULL, 1024x768" to have the game requesting 1024x768 on the right screen. -- Guido Grazioli <guido.grazioli(a)gmail.com&gt; Via Parri 11 48011 - Alfonsine (RA) Mobile: +39 347 1017202 (10-18) Key FP = 7040 F398 0DED A737 7337 DAE1 12DC A698 5E81 2278 Linked in: http://www.linkedin.com/in/guidograzioli ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fedora-games-list mailing list Fedora-games-list(a)redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-games-list End of Fedora-games-list Digest, Vol 43, Issue 1 ************************************************
