Description Sterling 2004-07-26 08:28:18 UTC

When I start X, CTRL+ALT++ and CTRL+ALT+- work normally.
When I play a game that changes the screen resolution,
that works.  If the game forgets to set the resolution back,
I can't change it back with the CTRL+ALT shortcuts.
The Gnome resolution changer still works.  Even afterwards,
CTRL+ALT zoom doesn't work until I restart the X server.

I have a pc104 us keyboard.

Whats the status of this bug using a current version of xorg?

Comment 2 Sterling Stein 2006-04-03 00:13:33 UTC

I don't remember how to crash any of the games right now.
I assume that there is some sort of "Full Screen mode"
that games use?  When a game is full screen, I can't
change the resolution at all.  The problem before was
that this persisted after the game died.  I don't
know how to crash it to recreate it.

I tried to segfault an SDL game, but that triggers the
SDL parachute which sets the screen back to normal.

Sterling, Ok to close this bug or are you able to produce a test case where this
bug occurs?

Comment 4 Sterling Stein 2006-05-19 05:39:02 UTC

Um...how about this:
Run fceu in fullscreen mode.
CTRL++ and CTRL+- don't work while it is in fullscreen mode.
(Probably by design?  If I knew about how that worked,
I might be able to do something.)
The problem was that this continued after the game quit.
I have no idea how to duplicate the crashing.
I guess that you can close the bug.

Marking broken (status null/blank) bugs in xorg with no activity in a long time as fixed. Please reopen if you think it's necessary, but first do a search if a similar bug report is already filed and in a NEW/ASSIGNED state. These bugs do not currently show in most search results as they do not have any status.
