Does anyone know how I set up quakelive at 800x600 on a 16:10 LCD monitor without distorting the image?
May be using black bars or setting 960x600. Tks
Who plays with lower resolutions on LCD monitors generally faces problem with the 4:3 aspect ratio, which makes the screen stretched or black stripe. In my case, to get 75Hz think only in 800x600 (r_mode 9) and 15Hz to more makes a difference.
In qlive is to customize the screen size with the commands r_customwidth (width) and r_customheight (height), but commands only work if there is the same size as resolution options in Windows. For it is this program: http://www.monitortests.com/cru-p4.zip
It creates a custom resolution in Windows. I created one of 960x600 with 75Hz (have to restart the PC to be created). Then I went in and put quakelive these commands:
r_customwidth 960
r_customheight 600
r_mode -1
vid_restart
