Fullscreen glitch on Jaunty/FGLRX

[bakhy]

Ok, I feel like I should maybe apologise I found this simple checkbox that fixed te darn thing.

In the CompizConfig tool, under "General Options", there's this option called "Unredirect fullscreen windows" (what a great name, btw ). Turning it off made fullscreen mode behave perfectly again.

Also, the animations seem to have improved a little after I've lowered the "Animation Time Step" option from 10 to 8 (that's under "Animations", "Effect Settings" tab), but I'm not sure if I'm not just imagining this one.

Anyway, sorry for abusing the forum with my noobness. Hope someone else finds this useful.

Just posting to say thank you, bakhi!

I noticed the same while playing movies and calling the menu, but brushed it off as Compiz struggling with GNOME (which it is, in fact)...
Silly thing they turn such options on by default. Anybody knows what the benefits would be?

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me!

There is a bug reported in launchpad:
"...notify-osd applet makes my screen blink for a second when an application is in full screen"

Probably because you didn't have the same issue. Hope you've found a solution that works for you though!

Great thread, just was I was looking for, hopefully it works for me.

I found this very useful, it's been bugging me for a long time whenever I tried to use F11 in apps. Works great. Thanks.

Worked out great for me too, thanks.
