Hi,

try for long period to run Worms (2) in Fullscreen on my EEE PC (running EEEbuntu 1.XX). Sound and playing in a window works fine, but some importan details from the Game are cut off, so i wanne run this game in fullscreen. But in in Fullscreen, the grafics are totaly damaged. I am a Linux Dau, so i have no idea. Here the things happend on the console:

fixme:dplay:DPL_ConnectEx (0x132018)->(0x00000000,0x32f95c,(nil)): semi stub
err:dplay:DPL_CreateCompoundAddress Unknown GUID {00110048-f830-0032-10a4-c67b38241300}

This sound card's driver does not support direct access
The (slower) DirectSound HEL mode will be used instead.

There is a specific error that might explain the problem:

> err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 800x600x8 @0! (XRandR)

i.e., X could not find modeline for the 800x600x8 resolution

Search google for "change xorg.conf resolution" or maybe ask in a eeepc forum.

mhh thx for the hint, but i am a realy Linux Dau

i look inside the conf file (which i think is the important one: /etc/X11/xorg.conf)

Looks like:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

It seems that he configure the display settings automaticly, how and where can i add the specific Resolution/Deepth, that wine need to run Worms, without change the Display Setting over all?

thx (again)
Dom

What type of Eee PC (like 4G)? Most of them don't support the 800x600 resolution and only go up to 800x480. You might want to check the game for resolution settings and use 640x480 if you can.

If that's not possible, I believe there are some tricks to have a special 800x600 scaling mode on the Eee PC (through xorg.conf), but I don't know how to do that and I'd actually be glad to know too.

Not that this helps with your issue, but incidentally: if you like Worms, be sure to check out the native Linux version of Hedgewars (if you haven't already).
