Title: Fullscreen, Linux and latest ATI drivers.
Post by: Goffredo on February 03, 2012, 12:11:53
Hi,

I have a strange problem setting fullscreen on linux.  2 out of 3 times the window shows up as if it was maximized (you can see the window's decorations). I am running arch linux 64 bit, with the latest proprietary drivers and oracle's jdk 7.

In my horrible time setting up Linux systems although it was fun, Linux has major problems when it comes to ati/amd video cards. If you are using Ubuntu what drivers are you using, if not what os?

Also if you are using Ubuntu the 32bit version is more stable. :)

No, I run arch linux 64 bit. The problem seems to be compiz. I enabled the legacy fullscreen support in the compiz manager (under the workarounds section) and now I can achieve a proper fullscreen. I am puzzled by the fact that only lwjgl applications seem to be affected by this problem: every other application gets fullscreen right out of the box, no compiz workarounds needed. Is it possible that lwjgl has a deprecated method to request a fullscreen window?
