[SOLVED] Frets on Fire - Resolution goes too high...or low...

[nachomania]

Hello. I've installed Frets on Fire through the terminal, and everything went fine. The problem is, (or at least I think it is), that the game's resolution is too high for my monitor. I can hear music when I run the game, but my monitor bars the signal, and gives me the warning screen. Any way I can lower this, or find out what's causing it?

I get a similar error too! I hear music for the 1st few seconds then I get a message saying Video Mode Not Supported! I cant seem to find anything in Google!!!!

have you tried running it in the terminal with the -v option so that you can see what the console says?

If I find any other ideas I'll post them.

I am running Ubuntu 7.10 - Gutsy with an Nvidia Geforce 6600LE with the latest drivers installed via the Envy system!

There's more, but it's about loading stuff for the menu.
Oh...I seem to be missing some stuff. If anyone has gotten them in, please tell. I'll try to find them...

Well, I've found (from google) the stuff it said I was missing. Pyamanith and PyOGG. Now, if only I knew how to compile :)

[nachomania]

sudo apt-get install python-pyvorbis python-pysqlite2 python-mutagen python-pyogg python-elementtree

Installed PyOGG

I managed to solve my problem!!!!!

This might help you.

You need to make sure a file exists in /home/Username/.fretsonfire

this is a hidden directory, it must contain a file called

fretsonfire.ini

I didnt have one so it couldn't initialise properly

if you create a blank file and paste the below code into it, it might work!

[engine]
highpriority = True
tickrate = 1.0

[opengl]

supportfbo = False
svgshaders = False

[theme]
