Description

There is no simple way to get out of full screen when in linux.
I usually go to a virtual terminal and kill it off that way.

Neither in Windows I think... Haven't seen that function anyway. But isn't possible
to switch to Windowed Mode in Fullscreen mode like pressing Alt + Enter? Or just Escape?

Actions #2

Updated by Sonicadvance1 about 16 years ago

No, that isn't possible in Linux unless I specifically set the key bindings to do
that. And with the resizing bug, it may get a bit annoying.

just press "Ctrl + Alt + Esc", then a Skull appaers instead of the mouse-cursor and
by left-clicking with the mouse, you kill the running process.
At least it works at Debian 4.0 Etch

This issue should be given high priority. It's been quite a long time since the bug
was originally filed, and it seems like something really simple to fix. Although I
haven't coded in C++ before, I can understand that the problem is probably related to
key mapping, as in the does not check to see if the escape key is pressed or not.
Would I be correct in saying that this could be fixed by having the emulator check to
see if the escape key is pressed approximately every 50ms while running in full
screen mode, and if so, either killing the running process or returning to windowed
mode? Just a guess, but this bug is really annoying. It's the most important issue
I'm having with dolphin on Linux.

Indeed, It isn't checking. We used to have the check in the code, but it gave us
locking issues from time to time. which isn't too much of a problem until the program
hangs instead of crashing. Which is why it was removed.

Actions #17

Updated by atrauzzi almost 15 years ago

I can't toggle fullscreen under Linux as well. Really annoying to be locked out of my own
desktop like this.

Any chance of this being fixed? If performance is an issue, perhaps the fix will shed light
on other performance improvement opportunities?

Actions #18

Updated by Sonicadvance1 almost 15 years ago

Reason why fixing this issue is a pain is because of how X11 operates with it's events

Actions #19

Updated by atrauzzi almost 15 years ago

Maybe it's worth looking at other applications or consulting the xorg project?

Actions #20

Updated by glennricster almost 15 years ago

There is a way out of fullscreen mode now. Use the escape key. Although I would
like to be able to work in the ability to use Alt-Tab to change to other windows
while the emulator is running.
