Just playing some more and I have realized that fullscreen mode doesn't work. It changes my desktop resolution, but it doen't center on in epsxe nor make it cover the whole screen.. I am using XFree86 4.3.0 on Debian sid.

Thanks, any tips are welcome.

Try and set the same resolution and color depth in the plugin as you have on your X server. For example, if your X server resolution is 1024x768 and 32 bit color, then set that the same for the fullscreen plugin options. This saves the hassle of X resetting the monitor to go to a lower resolution and possibly screwing stuff up.

btw, what plugin and video card are you using?

Yeah setting the res to the same as the X server would indeed fix it but it takes a hell of alot more time rendering it for 1280x1024 than say 640x480.

I've tried Pete's Soft plugin, and the XGL2 plugin.. Same problem. I have a GF4 MX440 64M. Yeah, it sucks but it's what I got.

well that's good your not a total n00b if you got Debian installed with a window manager

did you install the NVIDIA GLX drivers correctly?

 

[meff]

Haha, far from it
I'm a developer, and an in-progress debian devel

Anyways, yeah, NVIDIA GLX is all setup. Glxgears runs as expected.. I got Mupen64 running fine, with fullscreening and working support for my joystick.. I could care a lil less about the fullscreening issue right now I just wish my joystick wouldn't be so sensitive (referencing another post you gave me advice on)

Thanks

Why the hell do you use XFree86 for? Why not just stick with the trad Xorg? Mucho mucho more stable and faster than XFree, though not always faster.
I am using Xorg 6.8.99 from CVS and fluxbox. Lightweight and fast.
But I guess I'm not to teach you the basics of *NIX. Rather, you could teach me some. But also, wth are you doing on SID? I had it, but it was WAAAAY too unstable. Even after some good config tweaks...
For now, I'm just sticking with my Gentoo & Woody 3.0R3
;P

Please, do not revive old threads just to promote your preferred software. It is seen as bad practice on this forum.

The emu can only switch to 640x480 if you have a corresponding "Modes" line in your XF86Config[-4] file.

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "screen1"
    Device "device1"
    Monitor "monitor1"
    DefaultColorDepth 24

...
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth 24
        Virtual 1280 1024
        Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubsection
...
EndSection

Fullscreen mode only works correctly if your desktop is the same resolution that is set for the plugin. To work around this, you can write a script to change your resolution to the required setting for using epsxe and then change it back automatically when you quit.

I have my desktop at 1280x1024 and want to use epsxe at 800x600 in fullscreen. I selected 800x600 fullscreen in the plugin configuration and then I use the following script to run epsxe.

#!/bin/sh

xrandr -s 800x600
/path/to/epsxe "[email protected]"
xrandr -s 1280x1024

WARNING: By using this script incorrectly, it is theoretically possible to damage your monitor by selecting a resolution that it cannot display. Please read the xrandr man page!

Hope this helps everyone with this problem.

Um... funny how there's already a "do not revive old thread" post in this thread.
Anyway, maybe your info is of help (unlike the other reviver), but I don't know linux
