Wrong resolution after exiting ScummVM full-screen?

[James Paige]

I am trying to solve a problem on my Mom's laptop. It is a Lenovo T61 running 12.04 with Gnome Classic.

My Mom loves Monkey Island, but ScummVM is having problems with fullscreen. It runs okay, but when it exists, the desktop screen resolution is messed up, and is much smaller than it should be (that is to say the resolution is tiny, so all the icons and toolbars are gigantic)

I remember having this problem on my own computer in the past if a full-screen SDL application crashed, but on my machine it hasn't happened in a long time so I had assume that it was a bug that got fixed.

Has anybody else seen this? Any suggestions?

This was also happening on LBreakout and the OHRRPGCE and a few other SDL games, so this is definitely an fullscreen SDL issue and not a ScummVM problem.

Someone moved this post into emulators, but that is the wrong place for it. What is the most appropriate place for an SDL problem?
