Introversion

hey guys,
I got dar- and multiwinia with the humble bundle but I can't really play because the games lay even in windowed mode over both of my screens (laptop + external). It doesn't offer me another resolution than 3360x1200 and when i tried setting it in the preferences.txt it just rewrote the values back to that (tried 800x600 and 1024x768).
So, is there a way to force a specific resolution or am I screwed/forced to deactivate one of the screens to play?

Btw: I have Ubuntu 11.04 x64 on a Lenovo T410 with a nVidia videocard and darwinia ver. 1.43-2 and multiwinia ver. 1.3.1-1, both installed via the x64-humble-.deb.

greetings

The games only offer window sizes that match possible screen resolutions. Two ways to solve your problem:
1. Add more screen resolutions to your configuration. This may require xorg.conf editing. No need for new modelines, usually, just add a good MetaModes line.
2. Edit preferences.txt... oh, you tried already. Odd, it works for Defcon.

It worked now with the preferences.txt, I just copied the screen-arguments form Defcon, which automatically chose 1024x768 as window size. (before that I just changed ScreenWidth and -High)
Thanks for mentioning Defcon, I didn't really realise that they use the same schema for the preferences before you mentioned Defcon, thanks for that
