I feel like i'm making forward progress here. I took your advice and used a custom resolution (via ati dongle mode, not powerstrip). The dimensions of my SNES hooked up to my LCD tv were roughly 17.6 inches by 13.1 So I put tape on my tv where the snes image ends, and then matched it via the ATI cus...

ZSNES on widescreen LCD TV. Getting the correct resolution

Yesterday when I compared my HTPC ZSNES setup to the actual SNES console, I noticed my resolution settings were way off. Any idea how to mirror the real thing (as far as screen sizing)? The HTPC is hooked up to a 26" hdtv. (via ati Dongle at a resolution of 1216X684) I have tried every standard...

Windowed mode is not desirable as this is going to be on my TV as a HTPC, Is there any other way besides a window mode? I feel like i'm so close to finishing my project and now I can't get over this last hurdle.

I finally got the open source ATI drivers working AIGLX, and the problem wasn't fixed. Also, I have a new problem. There is "tearing" during gameplay.

Any other ideas? Thanks,

On exit of Zsnes, resolution and mouse pointer are stuck...

I'm running ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04. Each time when I exit zsnes fullscreen, the resolution doesn't return to pre-launch state, and the mouse pointer is stuck. Zsnes is working perfect, other than when I exit. I tried google to no avail. (I have a 9800 pro ati) Anyone have suggestions for my problem...
