Tux racer small window!

[jesperht]

When ever i run tux racer it opens it full screen, but wit only a small window in the middle (with the game)...anyone know how to make tux racer go *true* full screen, or even just higher res?

Thanks!

Programs usually keep configurable options in resource files in your login directory. When you run the program for the first time, if creates a directory (probably the name of the program) with configuration files in it.

~/.tuxracer/options is the tuxracer configuration file. There are options called set x_resolution and set y_resolution. They take resolution sizes as arguments. If you run tuxracer in full-screen mode, any unused window space will be black.

You know, the graphics look ten times better in an 800 x 600 pixel resolution than the default 640 x 480. :)

I'm not exactly sure why that happens- I used to use Mandrake and it would change the resolutions to what the game wanted (yes, including tux racer)- but when I switched to redhat all full screen games keep my current resolution and just shrink the play size to what I ask for. I havn't looked into it because my videocard screws up every time I switch to anything other than 1024x768 anyway (thus I dont want it to switch resolutions), but I know there is some config file that is able to change it. Try checking to see if all the resolutions are available in the display config file.
