I'm not sure if minetest is to blame here. This could also be an underlying issue in the Irrlicht engine which minetest depends on. Perhaps you can create a new issue at https://github.com/minetest/minetest. I'm quite sure they are more likely to help you. This doesn't sound like a Debian issue for me at the moment and should be better raised upstream. Regards, Markus signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Control: retitle -1 minetest: fullscreen mode can be unreliable Control: forwarded -1 https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/4921 thanks As discussed with upstream in #7689, this is yet another symptom of poor fullscreen support that would be best solved by implementing borderless. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Bug#905000: minetest: does not use fullscreen resolution over VGA
Package: minetest Version: 0.4.17.1+repack-1~bpo9+1 Severity: normal Hi, With my current monitor the maximum resolution is not autodetected, so I have configured xrandr to add a new mode and this works perfectly for lightdm/xfce. Unfortunately, minetest somehow does not find this configuration so always shows the titlebar unless I drop the resolution to at most 848x480, which is then really blurry. Additionally, the desktop resolution is not reverted to the previous setting when quitting. -- Phil Morrell (emorrp1) $ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1600 x 900, maximum 16384 x 16384 VGA-0 connected 1600x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 60.00 800x600 60.3256.25 848x480 60.00 640x480 59.94 1600x900 59.95* $ tail -3 ~/.minetest/minetest.conf fullscreen = true screenW = 1600 screenH = 900 $ minetest 2018-07-30 11:46:38: WARNING[Main]: Irrlicht: Could not find specified video mode, running windowed. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-7-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages minetest depends on: ii libc62.24-11+deb9u3 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.52.1-5+deb9u6 ii libfreetype6 2.6.3-3.2 ii libgcc1 1:6.3.0-18+deb9u1 ii libgmp10 2:6.1.2+dfsg-1 ii libirrlicht1.8 1.8.4+dfsg1-1 ii libjsoncpp1 1.7.4-3 ii libleveldb1v51.18-5 ii libluajit-5.1-2 2.0.4+dfsg-1+b1 ii libopenal1 1:1.17.2-4+b2 ii libpq5 9.6.9-0+deb9u1 ii libsqlite3-0 3.16.2-5+deb9u1 ii libstdc++6 6.3.0-18+deb9u1 ii libvorbisfile3 1.3.5-4+deb9u2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii minetest-data0.4.17.1+repack-1~bpo9+1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 minetest recommends no packages.

Bug#905000: minetest: does not use fullscreen resolution over VGA
Control: tags -1 -fixed-upstream +wontfix Control: severity -1 wishlist (Dear bot, I don't believe this has been fixed upstream ;-)) The bug has been closed upstream, but i could not find any fixes associated with them. On top, upstream seems to be reluctant to implement "boderless windows" support, despite this is the (usual) way how to handle it… Sigh. I guess this is nothing we can fix from Debian side… Upstream seems to suggest to use windowed mode and then use DE means (e.g keyboard combination) to switch that window to fullscreen. This only works if fullscreen mode is disabled in ~/.minetest/minetest.conf -- the default value is "disabled". (FTR, in GNOME you have to set the keyboard shortcut in the Settings first, as it is disabled by default. Afterwards, that shortcut will maximize the minetest window as expected.) I'm downgrading this bug and leave it open to document the workaround. Cheers, -- tobi
