Game minimizes, and then i can't do anything?
#1
Hey all. First linux issue.

I am running Ubuntu Studios 9.04, and have a small issue when gaming (So its not just one..) I'll play a game, for a while, then it will minimize, so i can see the desktop, and just freeze my mouse. I can't end it i have to Crtl alt F1 and end it via terminal.

Any idea why? Thanks

And, you are using the correct driver for your graphics card?

Try turning off all the desktop effects (the name escapes me right now).

Stuff like this use to happen to me, I use to get a frozen mouse, Shift wouldn't work anymore etc. The way I fixed it was just reinstall linux, but memtest fixed it for a while, I suggest you run a memtest.
