Can anyone suggest a way of getting rid of the black border
when racing in GPL so I can have full screen.
I'm using a Voodoo2 with the latest generic drivers & resolution set at
800*600.

Thanks Rob.

You can't.....

You get used to it after a while and it is there to aid the wide field of
view papy have implemented.

You can  change size of screen but it requires physical monitor adjustment.

I have done it with mine during experiment but it stuffs up your normal
desktop after game finishes. You may need to readjust desktop due to this.

Basically what you do is stretch the screen while still in same res mode it
can look out of perspective but done in small increments a reasonable
display can be obtained using this method .

Depends a lot on your monitor too.

I gave up on it though since I got tired of resetting desktop.
