Catalyst 12.10, Cinnamon 1.6.7, Radeon 7950 Tahiti, Ubuntu 12.04

When I start Team Fortress 2 under Cinnamon I get black screen. It works well under Unity and Unity2d

I have same issue:

Only on Cinnamon (no matter, if effects are off or on), I have a black screen in all full screen games. If I playing game in windowed mode, everything is fine.

I have two graphics cards in my laptop:

AMD Radeon HD 6520G - integrated APU
AMD Radeon HD 6470M - dedicated GPU

This problem is happening only on the 6520G APU with Cinnamon and proprietary AMD driver (12.8, 12.10, 12.11 beta11). Not on 6470M dedicated GPU.

I also tried Mate and Gnome classic - there is everything OK.

Linux Mint 13 LTS 64bit Cinnamon 1.6.7 (backported from Nadia)

@clefebvre - I also have this problem and think this might be related to issue #762

Any information I can provide?

Can you please check if this issue is still present in latest stable Cinnamon 2.2? (Mint 17) Thanks.

I don't know about anyone else, but this issue has been long fixed for me.

Agreed. Can be closed.
