Switch between game and desktop

May 16, 2006 sarthan link
Hi all,

Is there a way to switch between de game and desktop, I'm running the game on linux platform , fedora core 5 to be exact. I tried the Alt-Tab combination but that doesn't have any effect.

try CTRL-ALT-(F2-F5) to switch to a text-only terminal, and ALT-F7 to switch back to VO

you can start X11 manually on any of those with an additional "-- :2" argument to get a new graphical desktop

..unfortunately I'm not sure of any ways to go back to the specific X11 session that VO was launched from

And Alt enter to switch between fullscreen and window mode.

(wtf! firefox 2alpha2 has a spellchecker!)

Hi,
I have a dual head X server (nvidia Twinview), and vendetta is a bit stretched using both screens, so I've been running a second X server just for vendetta.

You can start the second X server with an option vt08 so that its on virtual terminal 8, that way CTRL-ALT-F8 is vendetta and F7 is normal X. I created a second config file for vendetta which doesn't use twinview. So I start the second server with

X :1 vt08 -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config-4-one -ac

I then started an xterm on :1 and started the game from that.
