n00b question on linux :-)
« on: December 29, 2008, 16:06:48 PM »
Hola guys  :D
I play oa on a Debian amd64 + Xfce4...
Does anyone run gnu/linux too?

Because I'm wondering how I can minimize the Oa window and working with other apps without quitting the game...
Ctrl+Alt+D as well as other xfce shortcuts doesn't work at all while oa is running >:(
I know people on Windows os can use skype/msn/icq/teamspeak/browse dpmaster to see who is online, and so on while playing the game
and I'd like to be able to do the same with linux...

any advices ?

hey Rey... I know absolutely nothing about this... BUT -  In my OA (for Mac) somewhere in the settings you can turn fullscreen on/off.  I know it's not a key shortcut but it works too...

Oh, great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
damn, now I have it working!!!  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

toggling off full screen and then bringing down the console,
mouse-focus returns to the operating system...and I can do whatever I want, keeping OA running   8)

thanks kilgore  ;)

I use AltGr + Enter for window mode and bring down the console for the normal mouse.  :)

....mmmmh....altgr + enter does nothing on my linux box...
However I found that with ctrl+alt+enter I can have the same effect  :)
I guess shortcuts are desktop environment related...
Are you using kde, gnome or other, Panic?
