I've recently switched back to Cygwin/XFree86 from Exceed (ugh) and
rediscovered a problem.
I'm running XFree86 with -fullscreen on my Win2k laptop. Whenever I
start NetMeeting to join a call, XFree86 will no longer display until I
exit NetMeeting. If I use Alt-Tab to switch to XFree86, it will not be
restored. As soon as I exit NetMeeting I am able to switch to XFree86
again.
What gives?
Try adding "-engine 1" to the XWin command line which should use GDI
calls instead of DirectX calls to draw. NetMeeting probably grabs the
surface and doesn't release it until you quit.
