While you're mentioning that particular feature, upgrading to Xfree86
3.3.1 seems to have broken it on my machine. It was working okay with
3.2. Or was it when I upgraded fxtv..?
1. When entering fullscreen mode, the window is off-center; I have to
hunt for it.
2. WHen exiting fullscreen mode, the display is scrambled, like the clock
is out of sync. Switching modes and back remedies the problem.
I didn't change window managers then, but I am on kde now and was on fvwm.
Are these known problems with newer XFrees, or do I need an upgrade?
