Fullscreen resolution switching
I have just formatted my SuSE 9.1 laptop and installed 9.2 from the downloadable DVD ISO. Now when I try to switch to full screen mode (in frozen bubble, ltris, etc) the display becomes corrupted. I haven't been able to get a screenshot of this, but basically it looks like the application is running in a square, slightly shorter than the screen size and a lot narrower. The surrounding space is full of junk from the frame buffer, bits of KDE, black and white lines. To be as clear as possible: The display looks a bit like this (with a fixed width font) where "-" is frame buffer garbage and "#" is the distorted image -------------------------------- -------------------------------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- -------------------------------- -------------------------------- Any ideas?

Yup ... Laptop year, make & model would be nice to know along with the display type, size & resolution. Are you running the 'stock' graphics chip/card that came with it or have you upgraded? If upgraded, to what? - Carl
Well, I have the same problem on mine, I actually upgraded mine from 9.1 to 9.2 instead of starting over. It's a sony, can't recall the model offhand but it's about two years old now. 512mb ram, 30gb hd, dvd/cdrw, 15" screen. Pretty nice little box. I can however get frozen bubbles to play but sometimes it takes four or five tries before the screen changes res correctly w/o screwing up. On Thu, 27 Jan 2005 13:47:00 -0500, Carl E.

Ok, here you go: 2002 Rock Direct Agenda Si S3 TwisterK integrated graphics chip I'm using the X.org from the suse FTP server, though at some point in the future I may try rebuilding it to get DRI working with OpenGL support. Does that shed any light? I've been googling like mad over this one and come up empty. I'm not looking for a fix necessarily, but somewhere to start looking would be nice. Paul

Let me know if any of this helps, ok? And :-) please keep me in mind if you figure out how to get 3D working. I fiddled with it for a few days and then gave up (I'm not a game player, anyway.) It /would/ be nice, though... ;-) regards, - - Carl - -- C. E.
