New beta installed, excellent so far bar one small problem!
Cannot achieve full screen on default laptop res of 1366x768?
Previous stable version (1.65) supported this no problem at all.
When I set it to full screen it simply sits in a window, if however I drop it down to 1024x768 no problem at all?
Any ideas anyone how to address/fix or is it a known 'bug'.
Many thanks!

I had the same case with 1.74.2 on Ubuntu 8.04 and it was a conflict with Compiz.

That's excellent, thanks for taking time to reply.
Will give it a go when I get home.
Been playing it on both windows and linux, as was an addict during the BBC B 'Wire Frame' days!!!

Well tried the compiz disable option but no joy.
Never mind, I can live with 1024x768 full screen.
Hope it gets resolved in future releases!
Having fun with the Merlin OXP and genericHUD OXP too.

I will try to replicate the case this weekend.
I visited Linux Mint main page and saw that different flavors of Linux Mint 10 exist.
Which one of the following do you have?
Linux Mint 10 LXDE
Linux Mint 10 KDE

In the meantime, and if you haven't already done so, please, try the following.

Th's exactly what I did earlier when prompted to disable compiz.
Wondering if a bug maybe?

Just FYI, on my laptop I have Oolite running full-screen (1366x768) just fine. Ubuntu Lucid with Compiz. Graphics chip is on-board Intel 945GM.
The glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

@Micha:
This is why I believe that it's a combination of Compiz, video driver and kernel that shows this behavior.

Would you consider moving to 2.6.37 or 2.6.38?

I'm having the same problem on Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop, can stretch window but borders remain. The window maximize button blanks the contents, and F12 does nothing. Glad to see I'm not alone, I'll post more system info (uname, lspci) when I get the lappy out otherwise I'd just be guessing.
Ian.
