Issues:

  • In fullscreen Allegro grabs the keyboard

'Grabs' = system wide shortcuts e.g. ctrl+backspace nor screenshots with ctrl+shift+p are not working. These are working in windowed mode.

  • Sounds use too much processing power

Rename/remove file /usr/lib/allegro/4.4.2/alleg-alsadigi.so to disable sounds.

  • Fullscreen is not fullscreen. Window manager's top-panel is still visible, but not focusable.
  • Can't start from menu, because started application stay bottom than desktop -> nobody has focus.
