Question about running doom in fullscreen mode..

edited 2011 Aug 18 in Technical Support
I have a 1920x1080 native resolution monitor. When I run doom windowed, I can use seemingly any resolution. However, when I run fullscreen, I can only go up to 1280x1024, and this leaves a couple of thin black bars above and below the game.

Now, I'm not referring to the black bars on the left and right -- this is a 4:3 resolution and I'm ok with that. What bothers me is that I can't get the game to fill the complete vertical resolution (all 1080 lines of it). The correct 4:3 resolution to fill my screen from top to bottom would be 1440x1080, but whenever I try using that as a custom resolution (or anything about 1280x1024), I get this message:

"Sys_SetWindow: Resolution change failed."

I'm using Doomsday 1.9.0 beta 6.9
