[Bug 155263] Re: [gutsy] sdl games leave fullscreen mode without obvious reason
I was getting this in Jaunty with SuperTuxKart and Nexuiz when using Compiz. Metacity did not have the same problem. Disabling the screensaver, as mentioned in the previous comment, seems to have fixed the problem when using Compiz. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- [gutsy] sdl games leave fullscreen mode without obvious reason https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155263 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Wolfgang Silbermayr : Can you follow these steps to disable gnome- screensaver and confirm if the issue is still reproducible? 1. Go to System / Preferences / Screensaver 2. Uncheck Activate screensaver when computer is idle 3. Click the Close button.

[Bug 155263] Re: [gutsy] sdl games leave fullscreen mode without obvious reason
This may be the same bug or a related one, as there are quite a few bugs being listed regarding Compiz + screensaver + games, full screen or otherwise. The bugs I've seen under all Ubuntu distributions are: 1) Compiz + screensaver + games = Screensaver snaps the game out of full screen mode because it thinks the PC is idle (ignores mouse and keyboard input). Disabling Compiz or the screensaver is a workaround. Disabling Workarounds in Compiz makes no difference. 2) Compiz + full screen games @ desktop resolution = Upon launching the game it repeatedly switches between windowed mode and full screen mode. Disabling Compiz or running games at a different screen resolution than the desktop is a workaround. Disabling Workarounds in Compiz makes no difference. I've tested bug 1 with LTris among other games, and bug 2 with OpenArena and Nexuiz (among others). Bug 1 may have something to do with Compiz having some interaction with the screensaver or input devices (mouse and keyboard), meaning either or both could be at fault. Bug 2 sounds like it's strictly an issue with Compiz. These bugs occur across multiple motherboards, GPU's and Ubuntu distributions.

[Bug 155263] Re: [gutsy] sdl games leave fullscreen mode without obvious reason
Hi, I've been playing tremulous for years now since 7.04 but I'm using hardy now. Everytime I played openGL enabled games in full screen like , Tremulous, warsow, etc... while compiz is enabled it always leaves the full screen after a couple of minutes from launching the game. Though the keyboard is responsive since I can still switch from console to gnome and vice versa I can't seem to control my mouse. This is really anoying because I have to disable compiz and switch to metacity before playing any graphics intensive games. -- [gutsy] sdl games leave fullscreen mode without obvious reason https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155263 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 155263] Re: [gutsy] sdl games leave fullscreen mode without obvious reason
I'm having the same problem with things jumping out of fullscreen and have had for some time. I'm running 8.04 with a Radeon 9250 using the open source drivers, AMD Athlon 2000 cpu, and Normal Desktop Effects enabled. Games affected (that I've tried) include SuperTux, Trigger, WormUX, NeverPutt, Pingus. It usually happens every 5-10 minutes or so. It's pretty annoying, as you have to click back into the game with the mouse to regain control of it, plus you lose a few seconds to a blank screen while it switches. This is fairly critical if you're playing a real-time game. Can confirm that turning Compiz off seems to fix it. -- [gutsy] sdl games leave fullscreen mode without obvious reason https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155263 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 155263] Re: [gutsy] sdl games leave fullscreen mode without obvious reason
Unfortunately, I still can reproduce this in Intrepid. I've seen this on two different boxes running Hardy. Both were running nvidia binary blob. It seemed to affect pretty much all OpenGL (?) fullscreen apps: I have seen this in extreme tux racer, wormux, frozen bubble. Subjectively it might be that in Intrepid it manifests less often, as I had to keep playing frozen bubble for ~ 10 mins till it first manifested. As noted above, there's nothing related to this issue in the console (when the game is started form the console). It seems to manifest only when running compiz at the same time. On a side note: I never saw it when playing tile racer, which otherwise would be a game where I'd expect this to occur too. -- [gutsy] sdl games leave fullscreen mode without obvious reason https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155263 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 155263] Re: [gutsy] sdl games leave fullscreen mode without obvious reason
Hello all, I have the same problem. When I play Frets on Fire, after something like 5 minutes, it leaves fullscreen and my keypresses are not sent anymore to the game, so I loose a lot of points which is very frustrating. After something like 10 seconds, the game comes back in fullscreen, and I can continue playing. There is no popup or anything displayed. It happens also when I am not connected to any network, so it's not an update from any gnome applet. It happens also when the screensaver is activated. Playing the game in verbose mode doesn't help : nothing appears in the terminal when it happens. I use compiz (version 0.7.4-0ubuntu7) with the visual effects set to extra and with the advanced desktop effects settings (I like to show people how my system looks better than theirs ;-). I have an nvidia graphic card with the nvidia proprietary driver (I know, shame on me... but compiz need it for the visual effects). I don't have the problem with other fullscreen applications than games, for example, watching a movie works fine. I would like to help more, by providing some log but I don't know how to start compiz in verbose or debug mode. Does somebody know? ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Compiz (lucagrazi10) -- [gutsy] sdl games leave fullscreen mode without obvious reason https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155263 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Myself and another Hardy Heron + compiz user have noticed this problem with the 2D-only SDL game wormux: https://gna.org/bugs/?11636 There are 2 things that make me think the game is not the root of the problem: - remplacing compiz by metacity (metacity --replace) solves the problem - when asking SDL whether it's fullscreen, it still thinks it's fullscreen In this later case, to be more precise, the actual video surface is retrieved using this: http://libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDL_GetVideoSurface and then the bit SDL_FULLSCREEN is tested in the flags member of the returned SDL_Surface struct: http://libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDL_Surface Another interesting thing is that it happened for the 2 of us when setting the maximum full resolution.

I experience the same problem at times, but for a known reason - sometimes an application makes a pop-up dialog (like from the notification area), and that forces the game out of fullscreen. After that, I have the full control of the keyboard, but not the mouse - making getting back into the game a very hard thing. Basically alt+tab a whole bunch of times before the game realizes and goes back properly. I'll give this a try with compiz off, maybe that'll help. -- [gutsy] sdl games leave fullscreen mode without obvious reason https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155263 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
