OpenArena y Compiz fusion error

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?

Sorry I cannot respond in Spanish. It's been too long since I last spoke it.

I think he is saying that his screen size is small and that he cannot change his resolution in the game. I had the same problem in Jaunty. I had to edit my q3config.cfg and seta r_mode manually. It defaulted to a low mode setting, increasing the mode setting increased the resolution. Why openarena isn't letting me change mode in the GUI, I don't know, but editing ~/.openarena/baseoa/q3config.cfg manually and changing the line:

seta r_mode "<INTEGER>"

Solved the problem for me. I had to expirement with different numbers, right now in Jaunty xrandr only shows one mode setting on my laptop, 1920x1200:

mgottesfeld@excalibur:~/.openarena/baseoa$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 3200 x 1200
VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
LVDS connected 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm
   1920x1200 60.0*+
S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

Using:
seta r_mode "9"

got my resolution up pretty high, but still not 1920x1200.

I see that a new xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-radeon just came in. I'll check those and get back.

Thanks,

Hey,

Still no joy. I cannot change resolution inside the game. The workaround works for now though. Also, I'd really recommend against running opengl games inside Compiz. I'd switch to metacity to play and then switch back when you are done. There is a package for a fusion icon that will allow you to switch easily.

Also, what type of graphics card do you have? I have ATI.

I have nvidia geforce fx 5500.

256mb / core clock 250 mhz / memory clock 332 mhz

Thanks.
