I don't know, but I noticed the very same thing on a system I just installed FC5 on the other day. The game in question was Baldur's Gate 2 under Cedega, and instead of the screen changing resolution to match the game, the resolution stayed the same and the game displayed in the upper right hand corner at 640x480. The way I worked around this was to match the OpenGL resolution roughly to the existing screen resolution. That got things to working right. I had to do the same thing to Neverwinter Nights. The problem is tho that not every OpenGl game can be run at 1280x1024 on every processor. Sometimes you need the resolution downshift to even play at all; so this is a problem and I'm not sure what to do except to start reading the Nvidia readme.txt for some clues -- http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8756/README/index.html LX -- °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Missiles of ligneous or osteal consistency have the potential of fracturing osseous structure, but appellations will eternally remain innocuous.
