I'm having a problem running VO on my Ubuntu workstation at work. I have an Nvidia Quadro NVS 295 with a dual monitor setup. I want to play VO in windowed mode at 1280X768 so it will fit snuggly in one of my monitors. However, whenever I launch VO it goes to 2880X900 (Native of each monitor is 1440X900). I tried resizing it using options, but it only gives me the 2880X900 option. I tried setting it in the config.ini file under the .vendetta folder in my home directory but it always reverts back whenever I launch the game.

I really can't play this full screen on both monitors, seeing I do actually have to work. It's just nice during those long Sundays where I'm waiting for backups or server updates to be able to switch to VO.

Thanks,

Fantus

(Don't forget the xf86vidmode=0 part).

Thanks for the windowed workaround.
Is there a way to get >1280x1024 in windowed mode?

On Ubuntu x86-64 (version 10.10), with nVidia, dual monitors, it worked with the fullscreen mode (not playable because the middle of the screen is right where 2 monitors connect...perhaps 3 would be better). It also worked with the windowed recommendation on the link, but only allowed up to 1280x1024 resolution to be selected. I tried typing in 1600 x 1200 in the config.ini file, but it was bumped back to 800x600.

Hmm, I have mine set to 1680 x 1050 and it works for me.

I have it set using both xsize/ysize (under the [refgl] header) and xres/yres (under the [Vendetta] header). I don't know whether that's necessary or not.

Also, make sure that the combination of resolution and colordepth are valid for your screen (I doubt that's the problem, but who knows...)

It works with only the xsize/ysize under the [refgl] header. I just did this to mine yesterday.

Thanks for your help - I was able to get a windowed screen (essentially full screen on one monitor without using full screen mode) by manually editing both config.ini sections as follows (I first tried just the [refgl] section, and it was removed from the config file when I started it up).

[refgl]
xsize=1920
ysize=1200

[Vendetta]
xres=1920
yres=1200
