Any ideas? I am able to reproduce the issue (alt-enter in dosbox brings me back to lightdm). Thanks! Doug

Package: wmaker Version: 0.95.6-1.2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, After upgrading wmaker and related libraries to 0.95.7*, various programs including some (but not all) OpenGL / SDL apps no longer work in fullscreen mode and sometimes even crash. The easiest way to check this is to try and switch between fullscreen in DOSBox (alt+enter). The result on broken Wmaker is .. weird. Downgrading wmaker to 0.95.6-1.2 debian package corrects these issues. Please notice! This issue might very well be hardware (Intel HD Graphics 4600 Haswell / core i7-4770) dependant. At first I suspected the recent Xorg, Mesa and Intel DDX upgrades, but somehow Wmaker seems to be the culprit ... I am running a custom kernel, but the issue occurs on stock Debian kernel as well. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.4.4-grsec-qcmm (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages wmaker depends on: ii libc6 2.21-9 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.3 ii libfreetype62.6.3-3 ii libwings3 0.95.6-1.2 ii libwraster5 0.95.6-1.2 ii libwutil5 0.95.6-1.2 ii libx11-62:1.6.3-1 ii libxext62:1.3.3-1 ii libxinerama12:1.1.3-1+b1 ii wmaker-common 0.95.6-1.2 wmaker recommends no packages.
