Bug Description

Because the newer Nvidia binary drivers do not have support for DGA, fullscreen does not work in snes9x. If opengl support was enabled, then fullscreen would work fine. All previous versions of Ubuntu had opengl support (sens9x-opengl package).

Would have been nice if someone looked at this. WAY too many untouched/unfinished bugs here. Anyway, any word on whether this was fixed for Hardy or not? I haven't had a chance to test yet.

Confirming this. It complains about access denied to /dev/mem or something, and even running as root it doesn't work.

As a workaround, you might be interested in the snes9x-gtk package, which includes OpenGL and XVideo drivers.
