crayiii LQ Newbie Registered: Sep 2003 Posts: 17 Rep:	Mandrake + ATI + full screen = crash I am running 9.2RC2 and an ATI 8500DV. GLXGears shows about 2000 fps. When I start any of the games that came with Mandrake they work great in a window. When I go to full screen the game still plays fine but when I quit and try to return to the desktop I get a hard freeze. The monitor goes to sleep and no amount of ctl-alt-f1(2, etc) or crt-alt-backspace will get me out. I have to hit the power button an reboot. Does anyone have any ideas?
