[SOLVED] Low resolution on game exit

MatejLach · 2011-08-27 15:53:38

I was doing some research, but was not able to find an acceptable solution.

When I exit a game my resolution will go to 800x600 every time.
(My resolution is 1366x768)
I'm pretty sure that I can do something like "when you exit a game/full-screen mode app, restart X to 1366x768".
Should be fairly easy to do, but I don't know exactly where and what to add/edit, so I would be very thankful for any kind of help.

I don't think you have to exit X (not sure what you mean by "restart X"), just set your resolution back to 1366x768 w/ e.g. xrandr.

xrandr --fb 1366x768

HA! Beat me to it

xrandr -s 1366x768

If it is a persistent problem you could wrap the offending binary in a script to auto fire the screen resolution reset on exit

Consider it as home work

HoMM2 for me ;P
Lower resolution to keep the game happy, start the game; on game exit, reset to the native resolution.

Thanks for all your replies!
I will try them.
Maybe I can just start another X session and kill it after I exit the game...
