I have it installed and had some initial problems with the display. By |
| 11 |
default Q4 is set to 'seta r_mode "3"', which is supposed to be 640x480. |
| 12 |
However, on my system (native resolution is 1920x1200), it tried to set |
| 13 |
640x1200, so half the screen was black. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Try editing the file, ~/.quake4/q4base/Quake4Config.cfg, and changing |
| 16 |
the r_mode to "4" or "5". I tried "5", which is 1024x768, and got a |
| 17 |
whole screen. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
seta r_mode "5" |
| 20 |

BTW, if you are using alsa for sound, Q4 sets it to use the default pcm, |
| 22 |
which sounded pretty crappy on my Audigy2. I switched it to use |
| 23 |
surround51 and got pretty decent sound. You can change the sound to one |
| 24 |
of the listed configs in /usr/share/alsa/pcm/*.conf by setting: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
seta s_alsa_pcm "surround51" |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
in ~/.quake4/q4base/Quake4Config.cfg |
