A geom string is a special configuration setting in Eternity which allows specification of all of the characteristics of a video mode in a single string.
Syntax
The syntax of a geom string is as follows:
WWWWxHHHH[flags]
Where WWWW is the width, between 320 and 2560; HHHH is the height, between 200 and 1600; and [flags] is an optional valid combination of the following single-letter specifiers:
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
| w | Selects windowed mode. |
| f | Selects fullscreen mode. |
| a | Selects "asynchronous" or non-page-flipped updating. |
| v | Selects page-flipped updating. |
| s | Selects "software" surface. |
| h | Selects "hardware" surface (eg. DirectDraw acceleration) |
| n | Creates primary window without a window frame, where supported. |
| Flag | Description |
