[Tuxracer-devel] Fullscreen mode on a Voodoo-1/2

[Steve B. <sjb...@ai...>]

I tried to play tuxracer on a Voodoo-1 (it would be the same on a Voodoo-2).

First, since these cards can ONLY run in fullscreen mode, it's necessary
to set ~/.tuxracer so it has 'set fullscreen 1' - but when I do that, the
image comes out showing me only the bottom-left corner of the game screen
(that's because my X-window screen res is 1024x768 but the Voodoo card can
only render 640x480.

When I try to fix that by setting the resolution explicitly in ~/.tuxracer,
it ignores it - and even overwrites the settings in the file with 1024x768!

I think the problem here is that those ancient Voodoo cards simply cannot
be made to work without special code entered just for them.

It'll take a special config option to make them work - and some nasty hacks
to the code.  I'll see if I have time to make them...but unfortunately, I'm
off on vacation for 2 weeks starting Friday - so it may not get done all that
soon.
