Quake II Quake II Help
The display switches to "stand-by" if I want to play in fullscreen mode

If you get a video mode, which your monitor can't display when you try to play Quake II in fullscreen mode, you should do the following:

1 Try a resolution and refresh rate at the "Displays" System Preferences panel that works.
2 You can control the refresh rate of the display for fullscreen mode at Quake II by setting the variables "vid_minrefresh" and "vid_maxrefresh". The default values are "0" for "vid_minrefresh" and "-1" for "vid_maxrefresh". Setting "vid_maxrefresh" to "-1" disables the limit for the maximum refresh rate. Changes will take effect on the next restart of Quake II.
