ok, i'm in the console.

following this..

"How do I set a non-standard resolution? Widescreen?

You’re in luck, not only do we have instructions for setting a non-standard resolution, but in Widescreen modes we’ll display Quake 3 more properly than id’s last version. So for my macbook, I’d set:

* r_mode -1
* r_customheight 800
* r_customwidth 1280

then if I’m in-game I would use vid_restart

Note that the in-game video preferences will not list your new resolution. This is normal."

i type

r_mode -1 (press enter)
r_customwidth 1920 (press enter)
r_customheight 1080 (press enter)
vid_restart (press enter)

sod all happens.......

windows 7 if that makes the slightest difference
