Yes, if that's the kind of full-screen you want then dga is the best way to do it. The -inroot option to the normal X targets will leave the other applications floating on top of the GGI app while it runs on the desktop background. ggiSetMode is supposed to give back the maximal visual size when called with a ggi_mode that is full of GGI_AUTO values. It does so on most other targets, but X11 is a quirky target which is hard to code for. The new code for X11 which will be available shortly, as I mentioned, does a bit of a better job in getting a nearly full-screen window. -- Brian
