Hi, I'm used to play counter strike in 4:3 with black bars when using a 16:9 resolution. When I configure my resolution in game, the game is stretched to fill the screen instead of having black bars on the left and right side. How can I change this behavior ?
My configuration is a laptop with an Intel and NVIDIA GPU, using the latest NVIDIA driver and bumblebee.

With nvidia you can put something like:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Option "Metamodes" "DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select; 1920x1080 {ViewPortIn=1440x1080, ViewPortOut=1440x1080+240+0};"
EndSection
in the screen section of file like /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf. Change DFP-1 for your screen.
Don't suppose anyone knows how to do that with amdgpu?

For open source drivers , it can be done through xrandr.
try xrandr --display LVDS1 --scale 800x600
(replace LVDS1 with the real name of your screen shown by xrandr -q , and 800x600 with the desired mode)

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
(A works at time B) && (time C > time B ) ≠ (A works at time C)

Scaling mode is the xrandr setting to, well, set.
xrandr --output eDP1 --set "scaling mode" "Full aspect"
Run "xrandr --props" to see what's available to set.

@smudge: I don't have that file. Should I create it ?
@Gusar: My screen is already in full aspect mode.
nakrule@mordor /etc/X11 % xrandr --props

If you already have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file you should be able to put the metamode options in there. Otherwise create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf, you'll need device and screen sections.
See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … figuration
And Thanks Lone_Wolf and Gusar for those tips

I created the file with the content you sent on your first post, but my game is still in 16:9
Guess I will have to stick with it.
Thank you anyway.
