Fixed window size/resolution

Oct 21, 2004 thginkrej link
The screen size apparently is fixed to the X server config. This makes sense for full-screen, since some full-screen progs make X go haywire at different resolutions, but it makes no sense for windowed mode. I'd like to have a non-fullscreen window, like 800x600, but there is no other option besides my desktop resolution. Is this being looked at?

Not currently. You'll have to add the 800x600 into your X config.

Just add the other resolutions, but don't make them defaults. Then you can use ctrl-alt-+ and ctrl-alt-- to switch between them, as an added bonus. :P

... and put them _after_ your desktop resolution otherwise X will start up in the lower resolution.

Well, if you edit your ~/.vendetta/config.ini, set windowmode=1 and change xres=800 and yres=600 does it do what you want?

Most people seem to have a bunch of extra resolutions configured in X by default so most people don't run into this..
