Game running only in window mode unless -window switch is used

[mihaimdinca]

When I launch the program (linux build) running natively on Batocera Linux, using the .sh file, ut launches in window mode not full screen - it does occupy the whole screen but it has a fine white border and the mouse cursor appears on screen and does not control camera unless the mouse leftclick btn is pressed and held. I used the -window parameter/ switch when launching the program as I wanted to see if there is the same effect - with it, it launched in full screen. I guess this is good for now as it can be used like this but it is the opposite of what the parameter should do.

Hi, @mihaimdinca and thanks for report!

So, you basically saying that effect on -window is inverted on Batocera ?
I've reviewed our X11 code:

• Engine tracks full-screen windows locally, since on some linux'es query window state takes too much CPU-time.
• Then toggling window/full-screen is implemented via _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN + _NET_WM_STATE_TOGGLE

I don't know, why -window can cause the game to run in full-screen. This flag is essentially a nop in X11 and should leave window in default state.

Out of curiosity: if in marvin mode you press F3, toes it perform the toggle?

It does. F3 causes the white border and mouse pointer to appear on the screen, another press and they disappear.
