Hi,

Did anyone get Doom to run fullscreen ?

Maybe I should be running it from the console rather than GUI ?

How do I drop to console plz :slight_smile:

Thanks

Doom won’t run from a console.

You’ve got a couple of options however (depending on your video hardware).

you can make your rendering window bigger by running doom with the option
-#, where # is how big you want it (-2 is double size, -3 is triple, etc…goes up to -5, but it’s kind of slow at that size).

If your video card supports RGB Video overlay surfaces (like the ATI Rage 128,
Voodoo, Matrox G200/G400), you can also run doom with the option
-enable_overlay. This will use the video scaler to go full screen for you.
And you can use the numeric keypad ‘+’ to go back and forth from fullscreen
and windowed mode.

Two ways of getting the command line options in…

lauch a pterm and :
cd /usr/games/doom
…/doom

or create a “Run Program” button in your shelf and add the options there.
