[SOLVED] Counter-Strike Resolutions

[KrzyGlue]

Hi all,

So I installed Steam + CS 1.6 on my Ubuntu Hardy system, and it is working pretty good, with one small problem. In the CS options menu, the resolution of 1680*1050 isn't available. I really can't stand 1280*1024, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

You sure it supports that resolution? Also do you have that resolution listed in output from 'xrandr'?

Hey thanks for the reply,

Yes, CS supports that resolution (works in Windows). "xrandr" output includes:

Code: Select all

1680x1050 50.0* 51.0

That's your problem. Disable twinview in xorg.conf and restart X:

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
  .....
  Option       "DynamicTwinView" "FALSE"
EndSection

Hmm, didn't work. "xrandr" now includes:

Code: Select all

 1680x1050 60* 

but the maximum CS resolution is 1400*1050 (:shock: I've never even heard of that). Thanks though.

EDIT: Never mind, I managed to solve it. I forced the resolutions in the relevant Counter-Strike registry entries.
