Wasn't quite sure where to put this, but decided it would get the most attention from Linux users here.
For those that don't know, I developed a couple of games in BlitzMax that I later converted to run under Linux. However, when they were run fullscreen the system would lock-up when exiting. This was when compiled with a version of BlitzMax earlier than v1.12. They've since been re-compiled for v1.12 and the problem seems to have disappeared and they exit properly.
As I only have one distro of Linux to test them on (Ubuntu 5.10 on PC), I would like to call upon the community to test under various other distros and setups to see how they fair. The links to the two games are:
Max Invaders:

Worm:

Just unpack them to wherever suits you best (root or home folder) and let me know how they run. I would basically like to know the following...
- PC or Mac (and spec, including gfx card) - would aid in gauging a minimum.
- Linux distro and version.
- Whether you have gcc 3 or 4 (or both) installed - just in case this is a factor.
This info might also be of use to others producing software for the Linux platform as well. All help appreciated.
