Q: My window is so small in X, how can i make it bigger?
A: Set vid_width and vid_height to the appropriate values.
o Set resolution of quake in X
- Set vid_width and vid_height to the appropriate values.
Q: The mouse don't want to stay in the window!
A: Set in_grab to 1, that will grab the mouse.
(I recommend to make a bind to "toggle in_grab" for make the options
toggleable)
o View Frames per second
- Set the cvar 'show_fps' to 1: /set show_fps 1
4.2 Audio
---------
Q: Quake hangs on "Sound Initialization"!
A: Another programm is using the sound-device. Try the -nosound option.

Try to figure out the sound-driver you need and their values for the
cvars snd_output.

/maplist and then /map <map> (eg. /map e1m6)
5. FAQ
------
Q: HELP! Where is the menu? Everytime i press ESC the console comes.
A: Quakeforge has no menu yet, you will have to set the cvars manually
until the menu is finished.
