Screen Resolution eg. 1280x800

Post by jcarew »

Why in Irrlicht (only in Fullscreen mode) I can't turn on screen resolution 1280x800? I have error in Direct3D and OGL mode:(

That should not depend on OpenGL/DirectX, but on the modes which your monitor does support. Can you set that resolution in your display settings in windows? I can set all resolutions which are supported there in fullscreen (including 1280x800).

If that resolution should be supported:
Which irrlicht version are you using?
Can you post the code which you are using?

Edit: Forgot one thing. The resolution needs to be available at the same bitdepth! Some old cards can 1280x800 in 16 bit, but not in 32 bit for example.

I'm using the newest version from SVN. Code from tutorial 01 HelloWorld, but Direct3D9 mode with 32bits. I try run it on my Aces Aspire 5110.

For any reader who isn't telepathic, Google reveals that 1280 x 800 is in fact the native resolution of the Aspire 5110, and the 128MB Radeon x1600 in it shouldn't have problems with any colour depth.

So: I dunno. What does your debugger tell you?

Other resolutions do work? This looks like none should work as it seems not to create the driver. And what error do you get with opengl?

Other resolution eg: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024 work properly. In OpenGL window is create successfull, but window is't properly scale in fullscreen, eg: I have 1280x1024 desktop res, and 1280x800 in Irrlicht on OGL. Desktop 1280x800 is drawed oki, but other part of desktop 1280x224 (under) is my pulpit...

This is problem with Your project code! I don't have problems to use 1280x800 in fullscreen mode on my laptop:) You have to improve code ;)

first to solve the problem install the right drivers

second u dont have a radeon 16000 whatever card in this machine it comes with xpress 1100/1150 which a radeon x300 which sucks

i went to the acer home page and looked it up.


so install the xpress 1150 drivers that should clear it up
