When I set the resolution in ET to anything less than 1024x768 (i have a crappy integrated graphics, dropping resolution is a must), the game no longer fills the whole screen. Is there a way to make it stretch to fill the entire screen again? ](*,)

I think it may have something to do with my desktop resolution being set at 1024x768. I believe that if I set my desktop resolution to whatever resolution I want to play ET in (800x600 for example) it will fill the whole screen. Though this seems like a hassle to be doing everytime I play ET. I'll test if this works tomorrow.

Help, anyone?

Have you just tried adjusting the height and width on your monitor?

Check if you have something like this in your xorg.conf
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
If not, et can't change to a lower resolution, that's why it doesn't fill the screen.

Looks like you've found my problem. Though now I have a new one. I tried adding the other resolutions in, but it won't let me. I noticed that the file was read-only so I tried going into properties to change it under "Permissions" but I can't. At the bottom it says "You are not the owner, so you can't change these permissions".

How do I go about changing this?

Thx for the help so far guys!

Open up the terminal and type:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
You will then be asked for a password, type in your user password.
