Bug Description

Greetings.

Videos or applications in full screen mode show a black screen using the latest or an older version of fglrx driver. Is there any workaround to fix this? It's a pity AMD has improved their drivers a lot right now for Linux.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about this. AMD's driver that supports later GNOME tech like gnome-shell/mutter/gala is not yet released. Until then, maybe you could use compiz instead.
