No, that's most likely not the problem. I've been looking into it and
found the following. The problem is most likely due to my X or linux
installation, as older versions of allegro (back to 3.9.36) don't give
me a user fullscreen mode anymore either. I'm almost certain that one
used to work.
XGrabPointer (xwin.c around line 738) returns error code 3: from X.h I
deduced this to
GrabNotViewable
which, according to 'man XGrabPointer' means that
'Either grab_window or confine_to window is not viewable
or if the confine_to window lies completely outside the
boundaries of the root window.'
grab_window and confine_to_window in this case both point to
_xwin.window. Apparently when using XF86VIDMODE as a user the
_xwin.window variable is not initialized in a valid way, but I have no
clue why that would happen.
I'm currently building 3.9.40 on my other pc (slow) to see if that one
has the same problem.
