Hi, thanks for replying! I hate to sound picky, but here's why I need the black bars:
- The main game I'm trying to get to maintain aspect ratio is Warcraft III.
- If I change the in-game resolution to anything that isn't 4:3, the game is actually still stretched because it seems they never truly added widescreen support.
- If I change my desktop resolution using "xrandr -s 1920x1080" after launching the game, the game goes crazy.
- Some games do not have widescreen resolutions at all - for example, Diablo II. But the thing is, in Diablo II it's fine because I can just play in a window. I can't play Warcraft III in a window because (well I "can", but) the camera is moved around by moving the mouse to the edge of the screen, so it's really unplayable in a window (because the cursor is not trapped inside).
On other computers with widescreen display, black bars has always been how I solve this issue because, with black bars, the aspect ratio is maintained and the cursor is trapped inside (can't mouse over the black bars, which is good).
I know it's probably more of an Nvidia/drivers/linux question than a System76 one, so again apologies if this is the wrong forum to ask, but does anyone know if there's any way to get the black bars on this system?
