hi yall. im having fullscreen issues too (in linux) hope some1 can help
i followed this guide to the letter! to create an htpc in my living room
im not running WM, so toggle full screen ( / ) XBMC will go from full to 1/4 of the screen (ie windowed mode)
if XBMC is windowed, the EMU will launch in full-screen
if XBMC is full-screen, the screen goes black ... ...
( & XBMC continues to make key-press sounds, until i restart x )
i added xterm into launcher for some t-shooting
when XBMC is windowed, xterm is ontop of it
when XBMC is full-screen, xterm is behind it
running gens from xterm or xbmc-windowed works fine
why not full screen ?
rather than pointing launcher at my executables
can i point it to a scipt that would toggle xbmc's full screen
& runs the emu & returns XBMC to full-screen
what command would i use ? do i pass something to the http-api ?
or is there a better solution ?
im running XBMC 19538, built from source
let me know if logs, hardware specks or anything else would be useful.
thanks

WOW, if only everything was this easy
I'd still like to know what is happening
and how to actually fix it

- create launcherFS script
curl "http://xbmc/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=Action(199)"
$@
curl "http://xbmc/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=Action(199)"
- change <application>[emu exec]</application>
to <application>[launcherFS]</application>
- change <args>[args]</args>
to <args>[emu exec][args]<args>
