Topic Starter	Topic: Quake3 max screen resolution on G5
Kali Grunt Joined: 23 Sep 2002 Posts: 66	Posted: 08-17-2005 09:00 PM                  I just got my dual G5 today, with OS X Tiger and ATI 850XT video card. Running Apple's 20" LCD monitor (1680 X 1050 at natural resolution). I'm trying to get the higher screen resolution mode for Quake, but apparently I can only select 1024 X 768, all other options sends me to low 640 X 480 or something. Is it possible to get an higher resolution than 1024 X 768 in Quake3 under Tiger ?

And with that CPU & GPU you should have no problem running a resolutioni that high.

Apparently, it's working for the height of 1050, but not for the width of 1680 (which is really the size of the 20" LCD). I get about 1280 width (approximately). Of course, I inspected the r_customwidth in all the config file. There's only one declaration, yours. Is this normal ?
