Something tells me it's Torque.

Im not so sure about that... haven't looked at it, but I'm getting 1024x786 too as max, where any other game allows up till 1600x1200. Something tells me it's Torque.

Your video card & monitor will always have an impact on the max resolution you can achieve. That said, due to the age of Torque it's possible that the relevant screen resolution code is holding you back.

To recap:
1. Put in a full screen mode.
2. Check available resolutions again and set to desired (or max) resolution.
It may be a code change needs to be made to reduce this to one step, but Torque is not limited at all on resolution that I can tell. I have run it 1680 x 1024 on my laptop, and it runs very well.

No, Torque will handle very high resolutions and it has nothing to do with code age. What you need to do is change Torque to full screen mode at some resolution. Then go in and check the settings again for resolution. It should have opened up the choices to whatever your hardware/driver max is. That is how it behaves on my Windows 2000 machine. I just checked and it behaves exactly the same way under Linux as well. To recap:
1. Put in a full screen mode.
2. Check available resolutions again and set to desired (or max) resolution.

But the non 4:3 aspects only show up if fullscreen is selected.
PS: Other games show up all they support. This must not mean that you can select it. Most games tend to use the DX Hardware caps to decide what they show up. This are the restrictions of your graphic card. They have nothing to do with what your screen actually is able to show. TGE seems to use both when deciding what it shows up.

example: setScreenMode(1440 , 900, 32, true);
what it means: set resolution to 1440x900x32 and at fullscreen.

You can do it by modifying the engine or simply use the setScreenMode() Console Function in TorqueScript.example: setScreenMode(1440 , 900, 32, true);
what it means: set resolution to 1440x900x32 and at fullscreen.
