[quote="Saint of Killers"]No, I have only tried it with Penguin-Command (I miss Missile-Command from when I was a kid:p) and Unreal Tournament, and the ratios are fine, and the resolution seems fine, but everything is shrunk down to about half size, the outer-half of the screen being black, as tho the video boundary does not extend that far, and the game is confined to the centre half of the screen. There is no option in Missile Command to change this, and it has not been a problem in the other 2 distros I run, PCLinuxOS and Debian Etch. Both games run fine there, but something is screwing with the video here. The full game is on screen, but confined to the centre half of the screen. I'm sorry if I'm not explaining it well, I just can't seem to see why this is occurring.[/quote]
