Maybe this is not the place to ask but since this is a games-forum and FSEM is probabely pretty game-related.
If I’m correct, FSEM exists since java 1.4.
1)I have now java 1.6, still no FSEM for Linux…
2)I believe that there are also still problems in Windows and MacOS.
I was just wondering if some progress is to be expected on those points in the (near) future?
Thanks in advance

FSEM seems to work just fine on Windows. I don’t know about Mac and Linux, but you can still make a maximized undecorated window even if you can’t use FSEM.
FSEM is supported on linux since 1.6, but you have to have a proper
setup (isn’t that true for everything on linux…). In particular, you X server
must support and have enabled the Xrandr extension, and have it
configured (so that you can change display modes in your
desktop).
There’s also an issue with recent X servers:

Yep, I gues you’re right.
I have Ubuntu 7.10 (xorg 1.7.2 if I’m correct).
I will have to wait until the bug gets fixed.
thanks.
FSEM has worked perfectly on Mac since 1.4.
Thank you. I didn’t know that. Nevertheless, an engineer of Sun Microsystems said that under KDE, if you create an undecorated window that occupies all the screen, this window manager considers this window as in full screen exclusive mode, is that true?

I don’t know anything about that, sounds strange. I tried installing KDE and running CapabilitiesTest.java, no FSEM. But I wouldn’t have a clue about how KDE handles this.
