Bug Description

ubuntu 12.04 beta1, current dist-upgrade, updates

great tremulous still works!

but itsy bitsy bug: after exiting, desktop resolution stays the same as the resolution in tremulous (which does not have the native resolution of current wide screen), meaning it looks square with black borders on the left and the right.

good thing ubuntu still works and im typing this now on square but responsive screen.

Workaround: go to "displays" and set the resolution back.

Maybe this has something to do with ubuntu's having less screen resolution changes (which is really good!)
or because ubuntu's still in beta.

im using ati Radeon 6600M
OpenGL version string: 4.2.11554

bug was there when using default drivers, even before installing the catalyst driver. Using default drivers, tremulous crashed when changing resolution in-game.

Replicate:
- run tremulous
- connect to a server
- press escape, click options, check that resolution is different from your native resolution in desktop.
- exit tremulous.
- see if desktop resolution goes back to native.

This bug affects me as well.
However, I am on 12.04 64bit final release already.
I am using a RadeonHD 6870 1GB GDDR5.
OpenGL version string: 4.2.11399 Compatibility Profile Context.

I am using the Proprietary AMD Catalyst 12.1 driver.
The bug for me is exactly the same as for J B.

Same here - using Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit.
Intel graphics - so should not be the problem with drivers, as the problem only occoured to me in 12.04.
