Overture freezes during play on Ubuntu 9.04 (64 bit)

Thanks for the reply. Your theory does seem very plausible and appropriate in this case. My game does go back to windowed mode as you said. I noticed that if I disable compiz, it does not happen. So that's what I have been doing and playing happily (or rather spookily I should say - hehe). Will try the screensaver trick too. Thanks again!
