The game goes partial blackscreen and mouse lock on fullscreen

[rea987]

Hi,

As it stated in the title, when I try to launch the game on fullscreen mode, only left upper side of the screen is visible and the rest is black. Mouse is not usable, simply does not move. When I quit the game, the OS remains partial blackscreen as it happened in the game. Only way that I can return to normal screen is to reboot the system. I suspect some sort of Xorg issue but I am not sure... I have two graphics card in my laptop, only dedicated Nvidia card is in use. Here are some details.

System: Linux Mint 17.3 Mate x64

Please inform me if further information is required. Thank you.

As I have just tried with Jedi Academy via OpenJK, there is no such problem. I took a screenshot of the desktop after quiting JediOutcastLinux to present remaining partial blackscreen; the size of the available desktop is a bit suspicious; 640x480. That might be the default resolution of JediOutcastLinux. The only soluton that I came up with is to play the game in a windowed mode which is not ideal but okay.

Hi! Thx for the bug report. Could you maybe also try my port of JediAcademy? https://github.com/xLAva/JediAcademyLinux

I used the SDL library to deal with the fullscreen handling there. This should be more stable than my own implementation I did for JediOutcast.

If my JediAcademy port works for you, I will also implement a SDL integration in JediOutcast soon.

Well, I have just tried running Jedi Academy via JediAcademyLinux; the game complained about libSDL2 and did not launch which is odd cause Ubuntu 14.04 based Linux Mint 17.3 has SDL2 installed as default. Anyway, I am not planning to invest too much time with JK2, I will finish the campaign once and move to another game. Therefore, playing the game with windowed mode is fine for me. The only lines that I manually changed in jk2config.cfg are these;

seta r_mode "-1" seta r_customwidth "1920" seta r_customheight "1030" (having it 1080 does not make so much sense in windowed mode) seta r_ignorehwgamma "1" (the game is too dark for me)
