If I try to set the resolution of Nexuiz to something lower than what's in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (1280x1024), it will not use the whole screen, just puts for example a 1024x768 area when X is still in 1280x1024. With the full screen option on, it's centered and uses the color controls. Without the full screen option, Nexuiz is in the top-left of the screen and the color controls don't apply.

I guess you are using a LCD monitor?
You have to tell your drivers to scale resolutions lower than 1280x1024. For nvidia card, use the nvidia-settings tool, Display Device -> DFP-0 and choose "Scaled" or "Fixed Aspect Ratio Scaled" there.

No, this is a CRT.

And I'd never use nVidia for anything graphics-intensive, there's no drivers. I use a Radeon 9100.

Hmm... when I set xorg.conf to 1024x768, it can use 1024x768 and up correctly, but the same thing happens with lower resolutions.

Ehm but there ARE nvidia drivers and they are up to date. I don't see why you say this...but anyway

This is my screen config in xorg.conf and when running normal X i use 1600z1200 but when nexuiz runs it switches to 1024x768 but you can only use lower resolutions if they are in your screen section. Hope this helps you out.

I have the resolutions in my xorg.conf:

I just tried Frozen Bubble, and it does the same thing. I think it's a problem with SDL, not Nexuiz.

Submitted a bug report.
