REALLY low resolution ubuntu 9.04
« on: 18 September 2009, 23:54:19 »
Yeah, I am having some very major problems with my screen resolution with Glest, and yes, before you ask, I have the most up-to-date drivers for my video card (nvidia geforce 9500). I'm not 100% certain, but I believe it's displaying at 640x480 resolution instead of the standard 1024x768.

What's your monitor's max resolution?
Have you changed the settings in the .ini?

My max resolution is 1920x1440. I have tried editing the .ini, but it just says 1024x768. I changed it to other resolutions but nothing seems to change. I can run other games like Nexuiz at high resolution with no problem, so the problem must be Glest.

the ubuntu package is .... well lets say not so good
I think you have to make the changes in .glest/glest.ini in your home directory.

If you want a better installtion try the installation from liflg.org  ( http://www.liflg.org/?catid=6&gameid=87 ):
( if you have problem running it on 32bit ubuntu see here:

Yeah, the default resolution that comes with the Ubuntu package is 640x480 (standard VGA).

You have to edit the $HOME/.glest/glest.ini and replace the following values with those you want:
Code: [Select]
ScreenHeight=480
ScreenWidth=640
Take notice that the normal x/y order is inverted here to y(Height) / x(Width). So to have a resolution of 1920x1440, you need to have this in your %HOME/.glest/glest.ini file:
Code: [Select]
ScreenHeight=1440
ScreenWidth=1920
