I don't get it.... the script I wrote on the Ubuntu box to start a video game works but the exact same script I doesn't work on the mint computer. Any idea as to why that is?
I ran this from a terminal and it worked but not from a file on the desktop.

the correct way is:

whoever wrote that tutorial was crazy. I figured it out with man after the tutorial method didn't work.

I found a good tutorial on using xrandr and in the example they say to set the refresh rat to 75. Is that a good/standard refresh rate? How can I see what my refresh rate is currently? This is the file I'm writing:
xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1366x768 refresh ??
I'm going to put that lil script into a file and make it executable. Then, when AssaultCube screws with the display all I'll have to do is give it a good click and PRESTO.... my screen will be back to normal! Will this do what I want it to?
Simply running xrandr will show you all outputs and their available modes, with an asterisk (*) next to the current one.
60 Hz and 75 Hz are fairly common refresh rates for LCDs.
