Window position and size

a600fan · 15 February 2019, 15:51

Hi all,

I used fs-uae-arcade without a problem when my external monitor was attached.
I run Linux.

Now, I removed the external monitor.

I can see the games and controls selection screens,
then the game itself play (I can hear the sound) but the video is not there,
the controls are working too.

I suspect that in some cache file the old window position and size is stored,
(basically I think the game is running on the external monitor).
I may be completely wrong, that is just an idea.

Is there any way to clear the window position and size?
Any other suggestion?

Thank you

Hi! I experience the same issue on Ubuntu 18.04, but is not limited to FS-UAE. This issue seems to affect all applications run on external monitors, as e.g. firefox or thunderbird. If they are run on your secondary screen, then they stay there when the screen is disconnected. I did not have this problem in previous Ubuntu release, where all applications where redirected to the primary screen when others were disconnected. Therefore your guess is correct, your game is still running on a screen that you cannot see. In any case, I believe that this problem is related to Linux and not to FS-UAE.
