Hi everyone,

When I run methane (it's an arcade game) full-screen on Mandrake 9.0,
and some other process suddenly kicks into action , methane somehow
stops capturing the keystrokes but still retains the full-screen mode.
The situation most commonly occurs with kppp when I start the dialer and
decide to play a quick game of methane which stops responding when the
internet connection is established.

Then if (in frustration) I try pressing random keys, *everything* stops
working (even Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and Ctrl-Alt-Delete). So I have no
option left but to flick the power switch. It's really frustrating since
I have never had to use that process in order to wrest control from an
application in the several months that I have been on Linux now (Killing
the X server with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace was the worst I ever had to do).

Any comments on why the above problem takes place and what should be
done to remedy/avoid it?

- AJ
