Driver version: 169.12
Ubuntu 8.04

When playing a game in full screen mode, sometimes it jumps out of full screen. This happens with several games, However, most often it acts as though it is still in full screen-keeps control of mouse.

If I'm playing an FPS for example it jumps down to whatever resolution I have the game in, and does not let me get back to full screen or gain keyboard control nor mouse control. I have to ctrl-alt-backspace.

Is this a common problem? Anyway to fix it?

For future reference since no one knew the answer..

Updated my drivers with EnvyNG. :) Simple.

I've fixed my problem by turning off the screen saver.
