Description Julian Sikorski 2008-10-19 15:06:56 UTC
Description of problem:
If compiz is enabled, gnome screensaver will kick in even if a fullscreen game is played. Game will get reduced to a window occupying whole screen, and usually input will also wet messed up.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
compiz-0.7.6-3.fc9.1.x86_64
compiz-fusion-0.7.6-1.fc9.x86_64


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable compiz
2. enable screensaver
3. start up a fullscreen game (say, gl117)
4. play
  
Actual results:
screen saver kicks in

Expected results:
screen saver does not interfere, as it is in the case of metacity

Additional info:
I have found some similar bug reports in ubuntu launchpad

Comment 1 Julian Sikorski 2008-12-22 11:21:00 UTC
Still an issue with 0.7.8.

Comment 2 stephen 2009-03-30 03:20:59 UTC
I have this with Fedora 10 x64.  Screensaver activates and locks screen while playing Quake 4.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2009-06-10 03:01:09 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 4 Claudio Viano 2009-06-15 10:52:07 UTC
Problem still there in F11, experienced with Sauerbraten.

Comment 6 Matěj Cepl 2009-11-05 18:20:21 UTC
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command

yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing'

Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD .

Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you.

If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

[This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]

Comment 7 Julian Sikorski 2009-11-08 13:03:30 UTC
It is unfortunately still an issue on Fedora 12 prerelease:
compiz-0.8.2-19.fc12.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-common-1.7.1-7.fc12.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-190.42-2.fc12.x86_64
I tested with gl117 and sdlmame (from RPM fusion nonfree). I'm not sure the nvidia proprietary driver has an influence here, but testing without it can be hard due to lack of accelerated opengl in nouveau.

Switching incorrect assignees to the default one.

Comment 10 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 10:46:27 UTC
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
