Bug Description

Running ubuntu 8.10beta as of 10/13/08, rdesktop version 1.6.0-2ubuntu1 won't exit full screen mode if launched with -fp or -g 100%. It flashes like it was going to window, then immediately resumes full screen mode.

If launched with -g 95%, it will toggle between full screen and windowed mode, but of course it won't occupy the whole screen.

rdesktop 1.5 on ubuntu 8.04 was OK, same hardware.

tested rdesktop after upgrading a different host (nvidia geforce AGP graphics), and switching in and out of full screen mode works there. So I'm reattributing the misbehavior from rdesktop to xserver-xorg-driver-ati

The Xorg.0.log file identifies the video chip as:

PCI:*(0@1:5:0) ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] rev 0, Mem @ 0xf0000000/0, 0xf8100000/0, 0xf8000000/0, I/O @ 0x00009000/0

The rdesktop flash-and-revert-to-full screen problem persists with both the xserver-xorg-driver-ati and the proprietary xorg-driver-fglrx driver, somewhat to my surprise.

To prove that it is an -ati bug, please either test the Intrepid version of the -ati driver on Hardy, or the Hardy version of -ati on Intrepid.

Also, when reporting issues against X, you must always include your Xorg.0.log and the output of lspci -vvnn.
