Ok, I made many small code changes and ran many tests. I'm tired. Here is a little more information about the problem: A fullscreen video game will change the screen resolution, which means Window Maker receives an event from XRANDR. It processes XRANDR events by doing a Window Maker "Shutdown

A Heisenbug http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unusual_software_bug is important too :) If you have some understanding of the xrandr code it would be great to propose some cleanup/reorganization in an attempt to fix these problems or at least to keep the code more maintainable. By the way, has someone u

I CAN play abuse -fullscren without problems :-) Thank you, I appreciate you checking. This morning I studied the xrandr code and the event code in Window Maker. Since this bug happens on some computers and doesn't happen on others, I think I'll stop studying it for now. -- To unsubscribe,

I tried abuse fullscreen and I cannot reproduce the problem. In my debian the "enable-xinerama" is set, but enable-xrandr is not set. I have a nvidia card with the propietary driver. I you want, I can try to compile with the enable-xrandr option. Yes, I would appreciate that. I don't think it w

This is probably related to the --enable-xrandr option and you probably have a nvidia card, right? Some other people related similar problems. I did a quick compile and test using --disable-xrandr and it appears that you are correct: it allows fullscreen video games to work. Right, but that
