Summary0003741: black screen in fullscreen
DescriptionWhen I switch to fullscreen mode it freezes in a black screen. The music goes on but i can't do anything. I guess it could be an issue with my graphic card: it's a radeon hd 5650 and the drivers are up to date.

Have you tried both SDL and Legacy versions in reproducing this?

Actually the Legacy version works!! But how could I make the SDL version work? Should I disable something of my graphic card? I've tried but don't really know what to do...

If the SDL version doesn't work it probably means your graphic card's drivers aren't up to date.

mmm.. That's strange. When i press "update drivers" for the graphic card it says they're up to date.. They'r the 8.692.1.0 for the ATI mobility radeon HD 5650. I don't really know what to do. If you can think about something else i would be grateful!..

Exlenor, please go to the ATI website to find the drivers for your card and update them. The most recent version is 8.791

Might try looking and seeing if you can update your OpenGL drivers. Not sure how one goes about doing that, though. Otherwise you can try changing the printmodes in the SDL version.

I'll mark this as resolved for now.

This may still be considered a bug, but I'm not sure whether Baughn is too concerned w.r.t. various incompatibilities.
