Hi, I posted this (http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=23302 ) in the bugs forum but got no replies so I thought I would drop it in here as well just in case anyone can help.
Basically when I quit a game it goes to a black screen and stays. The only way I can get a desktop back is to restart X (CTRl + ALT + Backspace), if I log in on another tty and kill Spring the window stays black and I lose the mouse !
I have tried a completely fresh profile with new mods and maps to no avail. I have also reinstalled the software with no effect.
I am running Fedora 13 with an Nvidia 210 card and the Fusion Nvidia rpm driver. This is the 'packaged' Nvidia driver for Fedora.
If anyone can help it would be appreciated. I can't see anything odd in the X logs or the infolog.txt file.

Re: Blaclk screen on exit
Hi, I happened to try Spring under a test account and it worked properly. This indicates that the problem is a file in my Home directory. When I tried the clean install I deleted the .spring, .springlobby folders and also the .springrc file. Are there any other files or folders in a Linux profile that I should delete from my Home directory ?
I really don't want to have to recreate my home folder as that would be a REAL pain in the neck :)
Any help appreciated.

Re: Black screen on exit -- Profile issue
run in window mode (and optionally use /grabinput).

Re: Black screen on exit -- Profile issue
Excellent - thanks a lot that works fine. Didn't know about the /grabinput - that really helps.
Cheers
