1920 x 1080 Not working

Nov 16, 2008 Zeitgeist link
Hi, I'm running Debian Etch, Game works nice, but I can't get 1980 x 1020, when i try it vendetta goes really big, I have to move the cursor to the edges of the screen so it moves around.
I think it has something to do with Vendetta trying to force 60Hz mode on 1920 x 1080, all other resolutions are marked as 75Hz.

So I'm stuck with a 24" screen and 1024 x 768 :-/

Any time i have run into that problem my hosts resolution was set too low. make sure the host is running at the same or higher resolution first then try the higher on your game setting.

Thx Chana, But nothing is working, 1920 is my "normal" resolution for desktop and I can play other games as well, only vendetta doesn't work. I still think it has to do with 60Hz mode.
Edit: Ok, found a way to go around the problem, I think now it has more to do with vendetta not being "alt+tab friendly", the point is that if i use gnome's hotkeys (ctrl+alt+"+/-") to change desktop resolution after vendetta tries to change the video mode it works.

Hmm ok i had a problem a while back that VO would change my desktop resolution but it was only after switching from full to window. Glad you found a solution.
