Bug Description
After recent updates, a few of them are to Compiz-related packages, it seems like SDL applications can't work probably with fullscreen mode in the native resolution of 1280x1024 or higher.
What happens is that they simply switch to windowed mode. That doesn't happen with lower resolutions if they're set from the beginning, nor when Compiz is disabled.
Tested applications: DOSBox, EDuke32, JFShadowWarrior, my own (sort of) Snake game.
I guess it would occur with (almost) all of the SDL applications, but tell if someone wants a link to one of the above specific games, tell me.
DOSBox - No problem, apt-get install dosbox
Confirmed, I see this with xmoto.
