Can't enter game mode under linux with Glut

[goldangel]

Hi,
I'm using linux with a GeForce2MX running with the latest nvidia drivers and I'm quite new to openGL/Glut programming ?

My problem is that I can't enter fullscreen mode at the resolution I'd want to.
Here is my code to initialize my program:

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
glutInit (&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DEPTH | GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DOUBLE);
glutGameModeString("640x480:16");
if (glutGameModeGet(GLUT_GAME_MODE_POSSIBLE))
glutEnterGameMode();
else
{
glutCreateWindow("Blah blaah") ;
glutFullScreen();
}
...


The problem is no matter what resolution I request for the gamemode, it never wants to get into it.
Why could be the reason for that ?

To be a little bit bold: try GLFW instead. It supports "game mode" under Linux (and Windows, and Irix, and...), but it's called GLFW_FULLSCREEN instead Hopefully you will find that the GLFW documentation explains these things clearly, and there are also example programs for fullscreen mode.
