Full-screen apps in X not working properly


Hi all,

I've been having a strange problem lately. Each and every application which tries to go fullscreen, only yields something that lookes like a maximized term (I can se the close-, max- and min-icons top right). I can here the apps(games) run properly in the background, but the screen is completely blank.

What the smithereens?

At first, I thought it was accelerated applications only, but Neverwinter Nights runs fine in windowed mode. In fullscreen, it also shows the odd behavior.

You can see my X-conf at www.sqx.dk/etc/XF86Config-4

Hope anyone out there has some ideas :-)

System:

Pentium 4 Presscot 3.0Ghz (1mb)
Asus P4P800-Deluxe
Asus GeForce4 Ti-4200
Creative Audigy2

Debian GNU/Linux testing

Ok, problem solved. A fluxbox setting was activated: 'Focus new windows'. It focused the term in which the game was started and shifted the drawed graphics to the background. Everything is ok now :-)
