Same problem

Post by Rasheeke »

I have Ubuntu (Hardy) and I had the problem when I downloaded the game a few days ago, and opening a 2nd or 3rd armagetron application going sometimes let the full screen stay.

Then out of nowhere 2 days ago it's working fine and did flawlessly for the past 48 hours.

Then I come home today, doing nothing to my computer, it's happened again. I know it has something to do with resolution because it first happened only after switching that. I use 1920x1200 resolution and when I open the game it opens at fullscreen then automatically minimizes. Opening game either does the same but opens in window mode, putting it in fullscreen puts it in fullscreen then minimizes right away.

I had a problem earlier where it routinely minimized every 10 minutes, that was my screen saver and turning the screen saver off fixed that.

But now this auto-minimizing on fullscreen doesn't seem to make any sense.

Try turning off your screensaver.

See bug 194911.

I already did that. It's a different problem with full screen, resolution, and minimizing.

I had the same problem once. Turn off desktop effects and it should work fine..
