I just went through a couple of the examples. Im using gentoo linux on
an amd64 with an nvidia gfx card.
1. In fullscreen mode in exflame the screen size seems to be 640x480 but
the area where the flames show up is only 320x200.
2. I cant seem to use the keyboard to progress exflame in fullscreen mode
3. ex3buf wants to use triple buffering now but my video card cant
support this for whatever reason. ex3buf didnt need triple buffer
before, why does it now?
