[SOLVED] cant get fullscreen on torcs

[arnieboy]

I am playing torcs with freeglut but I cant get fullscreen. I can see the window borders of freeglut. I am playing it on the same resolution as my desktop screen. Any chance/way of getting fullscreen? tried lower resolutions too but the window border continues to appear.

You can put it full screen "manually" by assigning a keyboard shortcut.
Go to
System > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts
then look for the section Window management > Toggle fullscreen Mode

I choose <Ctrl><F11> as <F11> was kind of conflicting with firefox.

Note: to remove a shortcut, assign the Backspace key to it, as written in the hint a the bottom of the page.

:rolleyes: I've been looking for that information for quite a while on the forum, and it's just writting that answer that I realize it was write in front of me since the beginning...

keys from F2 upwards are the different camera angles. the one you will probably want while driving is F2.

Like in most software, tagging the F1 key brings up a help page; that'll help you sort out issues with the views.

Not solved, as that fix seems to toggle just the top bar in the normal program window.

My issue is when I run TORCS and set that game to fullscreen, it does not change to full screen (no difference), like it otherwise always did (before 10.04).

Nvidia 4 is working.

I also can't work around this, by switching with "CTRL ALT - ", as that no longer toggles screen resolutions.

I run 1280x960 (DRI = YES) and 640x480 in Torcs.

Why would this no longer work? It did. TORCS used to just go full screen and then back, when quit.
