Resolution Selection
« on: December 24, 2010, 07:24:30 am »
I'm using the Linux version on Ubuntu 10.10 with the Nvidia driver version 260.19.06.

I have a dual monitor setup.
I'm using this in windowed mode as fullscreen spans both monitors.  In windowed mode however, I only have the option of selecting between 2 different resolutions:

800x600
2304x1024

While the game is playable using 800x600 I would prefer something larger. The second option spans both monitors.

I looked in usersetting.xml but I couldn't find any display settings there.  Is there another config file anywhere that I can manually set my desired resolution?

Thanks.

Try looking for user settings in ~/.aquaria. The Linux build is a bit different from the Windows build, in that it doesn't save everything into the installation directory. It's the same file. Look under the Video tree, for an element named ScreenMode, and your target are the attributes resx and resy. Aquaria uses SDL to detect screen modes, so if it's anything, it would be SDL not giving you the extra screen modes.
