problem with switching screen resolution

Post by NeoHippo »

[gzdoom-g2.1.pre-3-g92dcf2e]

Switching from one resolution to another results in the screen staying black,
with only the rabbit head cursor being displayed.

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Processor
8.0 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
NVIDIA driver 335.23

How about updating your driver first? Your version is not the most recent one.

I don't have any problems using a Geforce 550Ti

Okay, the video driver is updated:
Spoiler:
But it did not improve the situation.
It's not a big deal for me, since I play with the 1920 x 1080. I just found it odd to be presented with a black screen after selecting a different resolution, and then had to use the Task Manager to end the GZDoom task. However, after restarting GZDoom, the newly selected resolution was used.

Addendum:
Changing from 1920 x 1080 to 1600 x 1024 did work, but it took nearly 30 seconds.

This works fine for me, can it be some monitor related problem?

I went to the monitor manufacturer's website to see if they had anything on the subject.
There was a comment by someone using the same monitor (Benq EW2420):

Have had this display for 2years now, had no problem with it.
But recently i cant display HD signals on it, it glitches out and goes black.
From that I assume that it is indeed my monitor giving me grieve. :cry:
