Hey OTLand. So, I'm trying out Linux Mint for the first time after using Debian/Fedora for a long time.

I installed Linux Mint 18.1 and Steam/Counter Strike: Global Offensive because fuck it, why not? It runs a lot smoother on Mint than it did on Windows or Debian, and I was very happy. However, I'm having trouble setting the black bar resolution while in-game, and it just constantly stretches no matter what aspect ratio or resolution I'm using..

My "inxi -G" output:
Code: 
Graphics:  Card-1: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Carrizo
           Card-2: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Bonaire XT [Radeon R9 M280X]
           Display Server: X.Org 1.18.4 drivers: ati,radeon,amdgpu (unloaded: fbdev,vesa)
           Resolution: [email protected]
           GLX Renderer: Gallium 0.4 on AMD CARRIZO (DRM 3.1.0 / 4.4.0-53-generic, LLVM 3.8.0)
           GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 12.0.6

Am I just not using the right drivers or something? I can't even find AMD Catalyst, even though I've installed the latest Radeon drivers for Linux..
I'd appreciate your help in any way you can.
 
Nevermind guys, I ended up getting it to work.

I edited the csgo.sh lines from:
Code: 
#!/bin/bash
# figure out the absolute path to the script being run a bit
# non-obvious, the ${0%/*} pulls the path out of $0, cd's into the
# specified directory, then uses $PWD to figure out where that
# directory lives - and all this in a subshell, so we don't affect
# $PWD

GAMEROOT=$(cd "${0%/*}" && echo $PWD)
Code: 
        ${DEBUGGER} "${GAMEROOT}"/${GAMEEXE} "$@"
    fi
    STATUS=$?
done
exit $STATUS
To:
Code: 
#!/bin/bash
xrandr --output eDP --mode 1400x1050
xrandr --output eDP --set "scaling mode" "Center"
# figure out the absolute path to the script being run a bit
# non-obvious, the ${0%/*} pulls the path out of $0, cd's into the
# specified directory, then uses $PWD to figure out where that
# directory lives - and all this in a subshell, so we don't affect
# $PWD
Code: 
        ${DEBUGGER} "${GAMEROOT}"/${GAMEEXE} "$@"
    fi
    STATUS=$?
done
xrandr --output eDP --mode 1920x1080
xrandr --ouput eDP --set "scaling mode" "Full"
exit $STATUS
Making it where the csgo shell startup commands tell xorg to change the resolution to 1400x1050 (4:3 AR) as well as the scaling mode to "Center" which gives me black bars in 4:3 resolution. Then when exiting the game, changes the xorg settings back to 1920x1080 resolution and scaling mode "Full" which maintains the AR of my monitor. :)
