Hello all,

I still get sometimes the good old black screen bug when switchting from full screen to windowed mode and back to full screen.

system:
amd 6200 +x2
4 gbyte mem
ati HD 2900xt, 1920x1200x32bit colour@60Hz
nforce 590 "sli"
sound blaster x-fi
windows vista 64 bits, 100% up-to-date including the drivers

Problem also occured with some older versions of lfs on my "old "computer, which runs also different OS; windows 2000(nt 5.0). I tell this, to make sure nobody starts blamimg vista. I really hate microsoft, but i' m sure vista is not the cause of the problem.

I thought black screen when changing from windowed to full scr was normal

well... if the black screen STAYS there... is not so normal

Oh... So a black screen for a couple of seconds is ok

Yeah, only for 2-3 seconds...it's normal

It mainly occurs if programsare running in the background, like firefox. Websites are full of flash ad' s and thinks like that. So having msn and firefox often means 3-5 programs in the background.

Note: The screen stays black. restart of lfs is needed.
Simple workaround, not changing from full screen to windowed and focus your life on sim racing (hmm wait there are more things in life )

With the new ati drivers the problem of black screen seem to have gone away. But i am not sure it are the drivers or just luck.
