Darkplaces on ubuntu?

to get the list of availiable resolutions open a terminal and write XRandR it will give you a list of availiable resolutions and refresh rates.

to set these ->

You can direct XRandR to set a different resolution like this:

xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768

xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768

The refresh rate may also be changed, either at the same time or independently:

xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --rate 75

xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768 --rate 60

the above is for the default X driver

the full list of things you can do is here.

heres the howto for propriarity drivers.

this one was wrong for my version "Launch the Startup Manager from System -> Administration -> Startup-Manager." i had to do gksudo startupmanager from the terminal to open it but after it worked like a charm.

when done reboot the system (not exactly nessesary but if you did something wrong in the bootup you will notice).

and thats it

And if you set it up correctly and something screws up your resolution, you can just to "xrandr -s 0" to reset it to your default. Beats clicking 10 times.
