It seems that it is not only Eschalon which has problems with fullscreen
on 945GM. See bug 326524.

** Summary changed:

- (Jaunty) Eschalon Book I runs only in windowed mode and it's terribly slow 
with Intel video cards
+ [i945] (Jaunty) Eschalon Book I runs only in windowed mode and it's terribly 
slow with Intel video cards

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
  Eschalon Book I is a very good native commercial Linux game that should
  run well on computers with poor video cards and poor overall specs. This
  is the homepage: http://basiliskgames.com/book1.html
  
  My computer is a Thinkpad x60s with Intel L2400 cpu, 1G of ram, intel 945 
chipset with intel 950 video card.
  On my computer running a live of jaunty (a daily build: 2 feb 2009) from a 
usb stick, with the game loaded on my regular hard drive (with intrepid of 
course), the game runs ONLY in windowed mode. When it runs it is slow to the 
level you cannot even play it, the game does not crash but you are forced to 
quit because it become unresponsive.
  If I try to run it in full screen all I get is a black screen with no music 
and no loading in the background.
  
  In this other bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321401 I reported the
  logs I got out of it.
  
  Of course the game runned well on Hardy, didn't run at all on Intrepid,
  and now runs poorly on jaunty.
