Cool. I have a feeling that tt-forums.net will probably have more 
people on it who use it, but I prefer proper NNTP to all this 
web-based stuff. ;)

Here's the first question (well, 2 questions) to kick us off then:

I'm running the latest version under Mandrake Linux 10. Graphics 
is a 32Mb Geforce2Go on a 1400x1050 laptop panel, using the latest 
NVidia linux drivers. When i start the game up, it appears in a 
window, and it will let me change the resolution to anything upto 
1280x1024, but if I try to go to the full 1400x1050 then it 
crashes. If I switch to full screen mode, then 1280x1024 is the 
highest resolution possible. Does anyone know how to fix this? (i 
know there is not a lot of difference between 1280x1024 and 
1400x1050 (and both are a vast improvement on TTD's 640x480!) but 
TFT screens always look better running at their "native" resolution.

Secondly - the graphics are a little on the sluggish side when 
there are lots of vehicles on the screen at the same time. A bit 
like TTD used to be on my old 486/66, but this laptop's got a 1Ghz 
processor so it ought to be able to handle it. Is there any way I 
can improve the graphics performace a bit?

Many thanks.
