Hi, does the GraphicsModes() function actually work under Linux?

I only ever get the current resolution returned, where as in Windows I get plenty of results.

Thanks

Seems it it not the fault of linux.
Maybe you limit it with an odd and old config of x.org (scanlines etc.)

Ahh ok, thanks Derron, I guess it's my PC and not BlitzMax that is at fault here. I am using AMD drivers and I get the "Unsupported Hardware" watermark in the bottom right hand corner.

It's a relatively new and clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 so I would assume it's not a config issue, but if it was, I wouldn't know where to look!

which drivers? "radeon" or the ones from AMD ?

I use the propriety ones but not the most current as they seem to have problems with my LLano gpu.

I'm not entirely sure actually, I will have to try updating them and see what happens :)
