Re: TORCS 1.3.1 test wide screen resolution problems

Hi,

on my Ubuntu 8.04 i use for the nVidia 8400 GS the nVidia 169.xxx
drivers shipping with it.
There is no entry about resolutions at the xorg.conf.

xrandr gives me that list:
   1920x1200      50.0* 
   1680x1050      51.0  
   1600x1024      52.0  
   1440x900       53.0  
   1400x1050      54.0  
   1280x1024      55.0  
   1280x960       56.0  
   1280x800       57.0  
   1280x768       58.0  
   1152x768       59.0  
   1024x768       60.0     61.0  
   960x720        62.0  
   960x600        63.0  
   928x696        64.0  
   896x672        65.0  
   840x525        66.0  
   800x600        67.0     68.0     69.0  
   800x512        70.0  
   720x450        71.0  
   700x525        72.0  
   640x512        73.0  
   640x480        74.0     75.0  
   640x400        76.0  
   640x384        77.0  
   576x384        78.0  
   512x384        79.0  
   400x300        80.0     81.0  
   320x240        82.0  

But at TORCS are only the hardcoded values of the
src/libs/tgfclient/screen.cpp available. 
For the Windows version it would be usesfull to may adding 1280x800 and
1440x900 to the hardcoded list too.
