Dear all, I am running Voodoo 2 (wicked3d) and no matter how I adjust the options within GPL, I got 1 inch black stripes on top & bottom of the screen. Is this normal ? Anyway that I can run full screen ? Thanks. Tony

twcheung wrote Yes is normal. it's called "Widescreen". It's a more rectangular format that is used for movies. It was made intentional in GPL. As for a "historical" effect. As a framerate help. As a panoramic feature. As a space for menus in replay. Just to help you on it... the only + you would have with a full screen mode is more blue sky. That's all. Take your monitor settings and strech it so you don't see those black bars anymore. Of course, you won't have any visual commands anymore for the replays ;-) - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard! - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking) - Sponsored by http://www.awpss.com/ on the NROS - "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."--
