So, I tried out Beryl yesterday to see what it was like, and after getting bored with it, I removed it from my system. Everything seems to be working fine, except for the fact that now, whenever I go to load any rom for xmame in fullscreen mode, X crashes without displaying any error message or dumping me at the command line, and then my system locks completely, and stops outputting a video signal. What's odd is that I can run any of my working roms just fine if I *don't* set them as full screen (i.e. run them in a window), but the fullscreen causes everything to bomb.

Again, this worked *fine* until I'd installed Beryl. What doesn't make sense to me is that I (believe I) switched everything back to the way it was and removed all the packages I'd installed in the process. This is with xmame 0.106, KDE 3.5.5-r1, and xorg-x11 7.1.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. Anyone want to backhand me in the right direction? :)

Oh, and having AIGLX enabled or disabled doesn't seem to have any bearing on things. I currently have it enabled because I noticed that X seems to load a bit faster with it on as opposed to off, but I've tried things with it on and off and I have the same issue.

So, in my rude rude dupe post elsewhere, maKKus was nice enough to point out that running SDL-based apps fullscreen doesn't seem to work with the latest nvidia drivers. It was then that I'd realized I'd forgotten that I hadn't upgraded my nvidia driver to 1.0.9629 until I tried Beryl. 1.0.8776 works just fine.

It's worth noting that I also had to drop down to version 1.0.20060516-r1 of nvidia-settings to get all of the options back...seems that the newer version of nvidia-settings isn't fully backwards-compatible with the previous version of the driver.

Moved from Gamers & Players to Duplicate Threads in favour of xmame fullscreen crashes X, locks system. If you want a thread of yours moved, please ask here, don't create duplicates. Thanks.
