Ps. sorry for my english  I'll try to answer any questions.

Ps2. Screens came from polish version of Play on Linux so some options name may be different in your version 

Full screen is not working on my computer, but the game is working fine!

Sloniu well done. Not to many HOWTO's about Battlefield under linux online so far.

Don't worry about Your English it's fine. Polish screenshots are not a problem as far as I know. I am sure that our users are clever enough to figure it out .

Thanks and we are waiting for another HOWTOs in the future.

Teereeeee.
