_______________________________________________________
Details:
I compiled 1.8.2 from source on a linux 2.6.34 system. I use an external
monitor, nvidia card, HDMI cabling and a wide screen monitor (1680x1050
native).
When starting the game for the first, it starts in windowed mode. It then
writes a ~/.wesnoth1.8/preferences configuration like:
xresolution=""
xwindowsize=""
yresolution=""
ywindowsize=""
which causes my monitor to go blank "out of range" if I try to go full
screen. The video mode I can guess it selects then from the sys logs is
1024x768 and this seems to be an invalid choice, given the system
configuration I defined above.
The solution I found was that I can manually hack the configuration:
xresolution="1680"
xwindowsize="1280"
yresolution="1050"
ywindowsize="800"
In this case, it works in full screen. But the video mode that it should
select should probably be one of my native monitor's.
I have attached my xorg.conf, if you find it interesting. It probably should
not be..
