Xwindow dekstop

[EvD]

Something is wrong with my desktop from Xwindow. If I start e.g. a game, not a big one, standard in Linux Mandrake 7.1, it doesn't fit itself on the screen, it is bigger!

Can somebody help me? What did I do wrong and how can I change it?

Thanks again!

First, check if the game has options to set a screen resolution. If that doesn't work, does the game use opengl? If that is so, depending on which gl card+libraries you use, you may have to set a environment variable to tell gl apps to start in fullscreen mode or windowed. Lastly, you can also try editing your XF86Config file to use virtual resolutions - not sure if this will work, but try it. You need to add the line "Virtual RES_X RES_Y" in the Display subsection of the Screen section. RES_X and RES_Y are the horizontal and vertical resolutions, ie. 1024 768
