Fullscreen Application Problems
 

Whenever I try to run an application that uses the fullscreen, I get a black background and mouse pointer, and that's it...

Some of the programs that do this are:
Frozen Bubble
Uplink (also a game: http://www.introversion.co.uk/uplink/)
ArmageTron

Anyone know what is happening? Or a possible fix?

try reducing the depth of ur display
say from 24bit to 16bit

I just tried setting my display from 24 bit to 16 bit, and that didn't help.

are you sure the video drivers, and gl components of the system installed and configured properly?

so now see if changing the resolution helps u
are u sure u have the right amount of resources(memory graphics) etc etc

Changing back to 24 bit did not help. My video drivers and everything is correctly configured, I just started having this problem, fullscreen games were fine about 4 days ago. And no, I haven't changed anything since.

by resolution i meant to say that u may change ur resolution from
1024X768 to 800X600

any new application have u installed in these days????

I changed the resolution, and the X server messed up. It took me about an hour to get it working correctly. No, I haven't installed anything.
