How about 0.3.1? ... and latest X and drivers. Reopen after trying the latest please. Sorry for the waiting, but to test it I waited to having to halt my computer, as fakenes with DGA enabled makes my monitor hibernate and I have to reboot my machine blindly, and lost anything that's opened in that moment. With fakenes 0.3.1, and ati-drivers 3.12.0, fakenes with a X.org server (6.7.0-r2) with DGA extensions activated suspends the monitor (as any other DGA enabled app, i.e. wine if I activate DGA in the config file), and without them can't switch to fullscreen. Just like before. Wine can go fullscreen without DGA; I think it's one of the things fakenes developers should fix: fullscreen without DGA, and not switching autoamtically to DGA at startup whenever DGA is available, although previously te user had selected another video driver. I can't try the X.org 6.8.0 release as the ATI drivers make it crash whenever I start an OpenGL app (or simply load Gnome). But dont think it'll make a difference, as the problem seems to be in the ATI drivers. I talked with the fakenes developers via IRC and they told me that behaviour of picking DGA without option of selecting another by default, is an allegro thing, and we couldn't solve it. Still... sounds like the ati-drivers are having a little too much fun. Ccing the X team to get their take on it. Transfering to x11 since the problem isn't with fakenes as far as I can tell but with the ati-drivers. Can you reproduce this using X's supplied "radeon" driver? Could you please test the latest drivers? (those work with the latest xorg-x11) I sold the Radeon long ago to buy a GeforceFX. Sorry.
