Wide screen is forced on higher resolutions on macOS

[Perlence]

Hello everyone! First of all, thanks for all the work you put into optimizing the renderer! It's the only port I know of that makes Quake III Arena and Urban Terror playable at 125 FPS on a MacBook Air M1.

I'm using the OpenGL renderer and I want to set a 4:3 resolution on the 16:10 screen. Setting r_mode 6 (1024x768) works, the resulting image is 4:3, see Picture 1. However, setting r_mode 7 (1152x864) and higher forces the game to fill the whole screen, see Picture 2. I've also tried setting custom 4:3 resolutions, but they were also forced to be wide.

The related settings:

seta r_customPixelAspect "1"
seta r_customheight "1600"
seta r_customwidth "2133"
seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_modeFullscreen ""
seta r_fullscreen "1"

I'm not sure if the Vulkan renderer has this problem because I couldn't get it to work, see #183.

Modern drivers doesn't like custom resolutions so much. So if you want to keep black bars at sides (preserve aspect ratio - is that your point?) - then:

• always use native resolution in full-screen mode (r_modeFullscreen "-2")
• set r_fbo 1 - it will enable framebuffer post-processing
• set corresponding r_renderScale mode (see in-game description for this cvar)
• set any custom r_renderWidth / r_renderHeight you want
• issue \vid_restart

Awesome, thanks, this is what I was looking for! I ended up with the following settings:

seta r_mode "6"
seta r_modeFullscreen "-1"
seta r_customWidth "2560"
seta r_customHeight "1600"
seta r_fbo "1"
seta r_renderWidth "2133"
seta r_renderHeight "1600"
seta r_renderScale "4"

I use r_modeFullscreen "-1" because with "-2" quake3e thinks the native resolution is 1280x800, but it's actually twice that.
