How to set video mode permanently

Support Basics & Interface
1

I’m at work, so I don’t remember the command, but I’d like to set video mode to software, not video card on my laptop. But I want it to be automatic, so I don’t have to start Blender from the command line all the time (using Linux)

Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks, ingie

make a Perl script to do it
i dont know the command to start it with software render but:

#! /usr/bin/perl

<here you type the command line to start blender in software mode>

save this a blender.pl, then type in the command line: chmod 700 blend.pl and all you have to do now is type ./blender.pl and there ya go!

if anyproblems let me know

Alas, I would like to just click on the icon :stuck_out_tongue:

Actually, I think I’m mixing Blender up with Crystal Space, darn it. I could have sworn there was a command line option to turn video card rendering off, but now I can’t find it in the books. I guess it’s me without a mind again. What a bummer.

Does anyone remember a command option for this?

Thanks anyway, Love Ingie
