Full Screen problem in 0.95
« on: February 01, 2005, 14:43:08 »
When I Alt+Enter after converting to 0.95, all the texture colours as messed up and the performance grinds to a halt.

Has something been changed since 0.93 (worked perfectly)?

I'm guessing a windows OS and an ATI card?

Yes windows XP (pro) and a Ati Radeon 9700 Mobile.

Is this a known problem then?

Yes, I can reproduce it here too. The funny thing is that if you press alt-tab (and hold alt down so it won't switch) after the screen is messed up, the rendering is fixed.

I've tried to improve the task switching in LWJGL. Try out

From my experience, proper fullscreen handling is an exercise in voodoo magic. Some combinations of Win32 calls work, some don't, and the result is different with different drivers.

Doesn't work here (WinXP, GeFX, dual-monitors). I get a black screen on startup and weird flickering when try to alt-tab. It seems like the window cannot grab focus.

What happens when it is not in dual-head mode? Could you try restoring the "old" flags in the various ShowWindow calls too and see what happens? Not having focus shouldn't affect rendering.

I've updated the library with a workaound to the ATI problem. Try it out again, please. The bug Spasi is experiencing should also be fixed.

Works great now. It actually feels a little faster too (goes into fullscreen almost instantly).

Still seems the same to me.

Here are 2 pictures to demonstrate what is happening;

Alt-Tabbing does not seem to fix the problem. I guess it could just be some weird ATI 9700 Mobile problem, guess I need to test on my home pc?
