I hope this is suitable in feedback forums, if not, my most sincere apology.
It would be nice to include some netbook friendly resolution options by default. Yesterday I managed to set it
correctly (with help of people from irc - thanks), but for a price of few centimetres of screen space, which in case
of ten inch display is, I may say, a lot (it has to run in widowed mode so, windows bar as well as panel is an unnecessary evil).
It can also have bad impact on new players which don't knew about such a way of fixing things (or those who are simply too lazy to look for it). I think they can become quickly frustrated and switch over to next "netbook gaming" recommendation, and I assume that that would not be good thing for the tremulous project.

You can change the resolution in the console.
seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_customwidth "1680"
seta r_customheight "1050"
You have to change the r_mode setting to -1 for it to use the custom sizes.
In the string 'seta r_customwidth' set it to the native width of your monitor and likewise for the height.
GPP has tons of resolutions built-in so you don't have to use the console, surely 1.2 will have this aswell.

Good job on reading his post >_>.
GPP and newer 1.1 clients get the list from your OS, so it will show everything your PC can do, and won't show the ones it can't.

I just use r_height/width and for trem 1.1 classic - i abandoned it. There should be a custom option for those who do not know the console.
*Well there aren't enough options in my opinion. I want ones like 2/3rd of total screen size as well. Since there is no option for this i had to set mine manually like i said above.

Yeah i noticed that when switching to mac temporarily (simply for the fact it has higher fps).
The mac had way more resolutions than my windows. My windows one had like... uhh these options:
2 for each form, second one is half the dimensions (meaning 1/4th of original size) and is waaay
too small. The bigger one fills the screen as much as possible, making the computer lag (i use windowed mode so that doesn't help).

As you can see, the last 3 are completely useless unless you flip your screen around. I think these options shouldn't show unless the screen really is flipped.
