Hey guys, seems I WAS playing Q3A in my LCD monitors native res, 1920 x 1200 for quite a while. Now suddenly it's NOT wanting to give me any resolution in that aspect ratio at all, and it's way too dark. Those would be the full screen OGL modes. If I play in a window it's bright enough but not nearly as playable. Any way to force it to run in 1920x1200? TIA! McG.

Will keep at it. I'm sure it's something I did wrong in the config file. McG.
