[Linux] fullscreen mode not working with KDE
Posted: Sat Feb 16, 2013 1:13 pm
OpenSuSE 12.2 64-bit, KDE 4.8.5
The game opens a screen-sized window, but it is not actually flagged as fullscreen. This causes the bottom panel to be displayed above the window, hiding the bottom controls - including, for example, the 'Start campaign' button.
As a workaround, KDE's window manager is able to force window settings - with these, I was able to override the game window settings to force it into fullscreen mode like this:
- start the game and alt-tab away
- open KDE control center, select Window behavior / Window rules
- click New, click the detect button, click on the game's window and press OK.
- Go to the Size and position tab, enable the Fullscreen one and choose Force in the combo box
- OK/apply
- exit game and restart. Should now be properly fullscreen
