I installed SuperTuxKart and I played this game in fullscreen. After closing the game, my screen resolution was changed. This happens every time I play any game in fullscreen mode. Windows can restore the default resolution after closing any game.
Is it a bug or a normal thing? How can I fix it?
Open a terminal and run:
xrandr -s 1 && xrandr -s 0
To make sure that game doesn't do it again:
Make a folder with that game's name.
Make a .sh file in that folder.
Example code below. Change the game's name for the particular game:
flobopuyo
xrandr -s 1 && xrandr -s 0
Save the file and close.
right-click on the file and go to Properties → Permissions → Allow executing as a program.
Use Alacarte to change application to launch with .sh file you created.
Delete the launcher for that game from the panel.
Go to menu and search for the game.
Add to panel if you wish (right-click → Add to favorites).
It's possibly a bug in your video driver or an Ubuntu one. If you have a good video card, try to use the same screen resolution in the game as in your desktop.
You should try:
xrandr --auto --rotate normal --pos 0x0
or if you can get into your Start menu, look for the word "display". It should be under System or Prefereneces.
I'm currently looking for a way to set this to a hotkey. So you might want to checkout this.
