I have been testing out the resolution 1280x768 in full screen

which works fine on my laptop which I bought about 8 months ago,though my desktop pc which is about 5 years old
cant run my game in 1280x768 though the pc itself does support 1280x768,when I try to run it on my desktop pc the screen goes all white.

any ideas why?

Because 1280x768 is one of the weirdest screen resolutions EVAR.

yeh I tryed 1280x800 first that didnt work so I tryed 1280x768 and got the same results

what resolution would you recommend?

both 1280x800 and 1280x768 work fine on my laptop though not on my desktop :(

Hmmm, if your game is written in a resolution-independent manner, then you can usually use Gosu::screen_width and Gosu::screen_height and be on the safe side.

(Which is also the reason why I want to change Gosu to always do this transparently :))

After further testing it appears the problem was the Nvidia Driver

as after updating the Nvidia Driver I can now use 1280x800 or 1280x768 or 1280x720 in full screen mode :D

I will implement the option to choose the resolution that the game will use from 1280x800 or 1280x768 or 1280x720

How would I  test too see what resolutions the game can use ,and use 1280x800 if possible if not use1280x768 if possible if not use 1280x720
if so how would I do this?

Comments?
