Well, this time I have an example but unfortunately with Linux Mint the example also gives other problem:
Constant #DISPMODE_MODESWITCH not found! in this code:

Code: Select all

;ChangeDisplayMode(#DISPMODE_WINDOWED)
ChangeDisplayMode(#DISPMODE_MODESWITCH, {SmoothScale=True})
Nombre$=StringRequest("Enter your name", "Write your name (16 letters)", "", #ALL, 16)
TextOut(#CENTER, #CENTER, Nombre$)
EscapeQuit(True)
Repeat
  WaitEvent
Forever
In this code the StringRequest it has two behaviors, in window mode the requester open the window and you can write your name, but in fullscreen not, this simple routine works on Windows and MorphOS but not on Linux Mint, any idea what the problem is?

Well, with the new kernel update 7.0.0-43-generic, Hollywood doesn't compile even with a new installation, and when I compile a project with Windows 7 the Linux executable is a file unknown for the own Linux. Now with Hollywood and Linux Mint is impossible make projects.
