[Bug 216322] Re: SDL applications auto-leave fullscreen if set to native 1280x1024 resolution and Compiz is enabled.
I've selected System -> Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (I think it's available from a compizconfig-backend-gconf package; Otherwise, I guess e.g. gconf-editor can be used), selected "General Options" and then unchecked "Unredirect Fullscreen Windows". Afterwards I've re-enabled Compiz via System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects. With EDuke32, icculus.org/duke3d and DOSBox, all running at the desktop resolution of 1280x1024, problem solved! What I guess is that, assuming that option was enabled from the moment I install Hardy, it should maybe be disabled by default. I say "maybe" because there could be other issues which I'm currently not aware of. I could be wrong, but I guess that what this feature means is to render fullscreen apps on top of Compiz. When it's disabled, OpenGL apps may bypass Compiz, which seems to work better for now. Again, I could be wrong here. -- SDL applications auto-leave fullscreen if set to native 1280x1024 resolution and Compiz is enabled. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216322 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

EHm, isn't this a duplicate? Doesn't this happen _whenever_ the resolution of the game is equal to that of the desktop, if running compiz? Current workarounds: - run games in a different resolution, than your desktop - do not use compiz - turn off auto redirect fullscreen applications.. 2008/6/13 NY00123 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > In my case, it looks like unclutter isn't installed here.

In my case, it looks like unclutter isn't installed here.

I had similar problems before. Mine were worked around by making sure that the screen saver was disabled. Also, you will get strange mouse behavior if you're using the program "unclutter" while you have opengl and some sdl games open, either windowed or fullscreen. t On Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 3:56 PM, NY00123 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sorry for not telling about that before, but now I can mention one more > problem (occurs in EDuke32 and icculus.org/duke3d): > It looks like something goes wrong with the mouse cursor, although the > behavior may depend on the game. > > -- > SDL applications auto-leave fullscreen if set to native 1280x1024 resolution > and Compiz is enabled. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216322 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of a duplicate bug. > -- SDL applications auto-leave fullscreen if set to native 1280x1024 resolution and Compiz is enabled. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216322 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

I've changed the desktop resolution to 1024x768 (without rebooting or restarting), and now I get the same problem with a resolution of 1024x768. In addition, could be related although I'm not sure (tested on an EDuke32 snapshot from April 1st, but could happen in other applications as well): * When I try to switch from e.g. 800x600 fullscreen (which eventually works) to 1024x768 fullscreen, I get again the effect of auto-switching to windowed mode, but also get a white display inside the window (when it is windowed). - Happens only with Compiz enabled. -- SDL applications auto-leave fullscreen if set to native 1280x1024 resolution and Compiz is enabled. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216322 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

Maybe this bug is for 1280x1024 and higher resolutions. If possible, please set your desktop and game to 1024x768.

Would like to point out that this isn't limited to 1280x1024 resolution. Had this happened few times with Quake4/ET:QW on my native 1920x1200, although it doesn't happen always and most of the time I can play on fullscreen just fine. -- SDL applications auto-leave fullscreen if set to native 1280x1024 resolution and Compiz is enabled. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216322 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

Can confirm it for ballistics, bomberclone and FretsOnFire.
While waiting for a real solution, maybe a little nocompiz script helps, can be
linked to /usr/local/bin so that problematic programs can be run by nocompiz
fretsonfire e.g.
#!/bin/bash
# Starts a programm having problems with compiz
if [ -z "${1}" ]; then
echo "Usage:"
echo " $0 program "
exit 1
fi
#First get the default window manager exept compiz
wmCmds="/usr/bin/kwin /usr/bin/metacity /usr/bin/xfwm4" #maybe I missed one
for wm in ${wmCmds}; do
if [ -x "${wm}" ]; then
DefaultWM=${wm}
break
fi
done
${DefaultWM} --replace &
sleep 1 #wait a bit to initialize the window manager
${*}
compiz --replace &

I confirm this bug too. When Compiz is enabled, all fullscreen SDL games set to the native resolution of my desktop (1280x1024) window automatically.

I started World of Padman with default resolution 1024x768 at fullscreen. Game starts fine and it's playable for about 10-15 minutes and then suddenly it jumps to windowed mode and all controls are lost -> must reset X to continue. On 1280x1024 Fullscreen it wont be playable at all. It changes allmost immediatly to windowed mode. On Xmoto started in 1280x1024 fullscreen, fullscreen / windowed mode seem to be switching back and forth few times in a minute. -- SDL applications auto-leave fullscreen if set to native 1280x1024 resolution and Compiz is enabled. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216322 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
