I did a little more experimenting and most of the games that go directly into fullscreen are fine like Crusaders - No Remorse is fine as well as Darklands, but this one is just funky in fullscreen mode. I don't even want to try it on this machine, but since this game is played in Dosbox I figured ADOM should be ok. It's frustrating enough to get old games like Wizard & Warriors working on that machine. I have an XP machine as well that will never be upgraded. I know what you mean with sticking with XP (I just bought this computer).

Now I just wish them to last for eternity because each upgrade comes with less choice and more inconvenience.

I used to crave for the moment when my PC would get old enough that I'd have to replace it and buy a shiny new machine.

Seriously, between the ridiculous UI changes that are making interfaces less and less functional than before, the rampant DRM that disables functions like stereo mix, and the abhorrent so-called widescreen monitors that become shorter and shorter each year and now require you to read a PDF three or four lines at a time because they don't have frigging vertical space, and the glossy monitors where you don't see anything if there's some light at your back, buying a PC is growing frustrating. In fact, I would move to OpenSUSE+KDE to get rid from all that stupidity, were it not for Team Fortress II and that I want to give Civ V and Starcraft II a try when they come out. Vista/7's UI has more latency, 7 has removed the "classic start menu" option that I have been using since Win98 or so, and now Microsoft has started this useless fad of removing the standard menu bar from programs and making us learn a new UI for each program because things like "File - Save" that were always in the same place now are at the whim of each program's developer. while the programs I use still work for it). I will personally stick with XP until I can (i.e. As I say, it's a matter of getting informed and choosing what you need.

Laptop brands like Sony Vaio, Lenovo ThinkPad and Dell have always been quite friendly to Linux and many people remove the pre-installed OS from them after buying other companies refuse to support laptops with user-installed OSes at all, and just removing their pre-shipped Windows install voids the warranty. In desktop computers it should be even easier, you just have to be careful with the components that you choose.
Some of the last models even come with 64-bit Windows 7, and CD's to downgrade it to XP. Yesterday I was looking at Lenovo ThinkPad laptops to advise a friend, and they are still selling them with free downgrade to XP. It was intermittent, because it depended whether I had a window on the left-hand screen! But I noticed each time it flickers, that the window gained focus, away from the fullscreen application.Well, that's also a matter of choosing computers. When I turn this off, it all works perfectly. When it does that, it loses focus - which is because I set "mouse follows focus" with a delay of 0. I finally figured out, that SDL seems to force the mouse to the centre of the left-hand monitor, which is NOT primary. It would just keep doing this over and over. So good so far.īut, I recognised that sometimes, but sometimes not, I would go fullscreen, and it would flicker into fullscreen and out into windowed mode, offset from maximised. This makes it fullscreen on my primary monitor. I resolved this issue by forcing: export SDL_VIDEO_FULLSCREEN_DISPLAY=0 into /etc/xprofile. Initially, when I went fullscreen in SDL 1.2 based applications, they would mirror my monitors OR would go fullscreen across both monitors, and when I came out, all my icons would also be messed up. There's also a LeftOf command in a /usr/share/X11/ script, which seems to avoid a bug in Xfce which makes desktop icons only possible on one screen. Setup as extended using the Xfce Display utility.
Info: Xubuntu 18.04 (Xfce 4.12), with two monitors, Left: VGAtoDVI 1280x768 Right: DP 1440x900 (Also set as Primary in X conf and in Xfce).
