Quake 3 resolution prob after quitting

[zurn]

Did'nt find any threads talking about this.

Here's my problem, when I play quake3 everythings fine, but when I quit playing and return to the desktop, my desktop resolution does'nt switch back. I play quake3 in 1024x768 and my desktop is 1280x1024....

Thanks for the help!

Edit your shortcut (or script) to essentially do this (of course this is assuming you have xrandr enabled in your xorg.conf):
/bin/sh -c "RESOLUTION=`xrandr | grep "*" | cut -d "*" -f 2 | cut -d " " -f 1`; quake3; /usr/bin/X11/xrandr -s $RESOLUTION"

... or something like that.

Thx, i'll try it....another thing thats weird..while playing if I use the left ctrl and alt keys to straff, it seems like the alt key stays frozen, so I keep straffing to the left. If i reassign the straff key to anything else, its ok! It only does it in Gnome not KDE ....any ideas?

Thx!
