4.5.4.2 Graphics Configuration

This section describes the configuration keys used by the graphics drivers. Note that most drivers also accept some additional options that are not listed here. These options are specific to single drivers. You can have a look at the config files for these drivers to find out which options exist.

Video.ScreenWidth = <width>

The default width of the display. What the real default is is system dependent but often it is 320. The width and height can also be set with the -mode commandline option.

Video.ScreenHeight = <height>

The default height of the display. What the real default is is system dependent but often it is 200. The width and height can also be set with the -mode commandline option.

Video.ScreenDepth = <depth>

This option is for all ports of Crystal Space where it is possible to control the depth of the display from within Crystal Space itself Use 15, or 16 here. Note that 15 is not supported by the Windows version. Note also that the Windows version ignores the given depth if it is running in windowed mode. Finally, note that there is also an equivalent commandline option -depth.

Special note for the X11 version: normally the X11 version will also ignore the -depth commandline option as it will open a window to match the given depth of the display. However if you give a negative depth it will simulate the given depth as well as possible. This is useful for debugging purposes.

Video.XSHM = <yes/no>

This option is only for Crystal Space on the X window system. This option is `yes' by default if enabled in the makefile (normally this is the case). This option enables the shared memory extension which makes Crystal Space considerably faster. This extension is not present on all systems. Crystal Space will automatically detect this and disable shm. You can manually disable this option by setting it to `no'. The shared memory extension can also be enabled/disabled with the -shm/-noshm commandline options.

Video.FullScreen = <yes/no>

This option is available with some drivers. It is used to set the Crystal Space window to fullscreen.

Video.WindowX = <windowx>

Window X position relative to bottom-left corner (percentage of total screen size). Only available with some drivers.

Video.WindowY = <windowy>

Window Y position relative to bottom-left corner (percentage of total screen size). Only available with some drivers.

Video.WindowW = <width>

Absolute window size (without frame and titlebar). Only available with some drivers.

Video.WindowH = <height>

Absolute window size (without frame and titlebar). Only available with some drivers.
