Comment 4 for bug 442395

I have the suspicion your applications changes the screen mode (fullscreen at a given resolution?) and just while the server is switching there is no modes defined, and the application asks about modes at the same time. Just speculation from my side.

Some SDL applications (I know penguinracer) have a conf file to set screen resolution (and fullscreen or not). Try them without fullscreen or with the same resolution as the server usually uses.
