The problem can be duplicated by downloading a game on steam and launching it , most of them will launch in full-screen so its easy to observe the bug. While they are in full screen I can hear signs that my cursor is actually moving and the game is still running ,however I can't see anything but black.

Tested with:

  • Stacking
  • Garry's Mod
  • VVVVVV ( This actually works full screen )
  • CS:S

My Setup:

  • Elementary Os Luna ( Ubuntu 12.04 )
  • HD 6770 running the fglrx-experimental-13 driver

I have posted this on the bug tracker for elementary os , but because I am not sure if this is a bug caused by the following :

  • Gala Window Manager
  • fglrx-experimental-13 driver
  • Steam's Client
  • Individual games on steam

Kinda agree with resolution of https://bugs.launchpad.net/gala/+bug/1220725
Could you provide the terminal output of running steam and say, CS:S, it might just be you’re missing a library.

Hello @malcolm2608, if you are still experiencing this issue with an up to date system, please open a new issue report.

Closing as general video driver quality from 2013 is no longer relevant.
