So I'm pretty new to linux, used it off and on for years, but never all the time.

The problem I'm running into with some GOG titles, in this case, Star Trek 25th Anniversary, is that it is running in a very small space in the middle of my monitor.

Black bars on the sides, I can deal with, but this is massive black bars on sides, top, and bottom.

I am using Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, with the latest Nvidia drivers.

Is there a terminal command I can run, that will automatically scale games to fill my screen, or fill more of it?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, but didnt help. Alt-Enter takes me from full screen to windowed, and vise versa, but when its in full screen, its the same size as the window, I want it to stretch bigger.

Thanks! I was too busy being overwhelmed by Linux to think about looking for config files to edit like I would on Windows, that helped a lot.

I wish I could figure out the MUNT part though, my Linux skills are too low apparently to let me install it.

I get told I'm missing dependencies, and when I try to install those dependencies, it tells me I'm missing other dependencies.

But either way, I got full screen working at least, thank you very much.
