I was somewhat mistaken. X does not become unresponsive, and does not require restarting. However, the problem with glutEnterGameMode not changing the screen resolution still remains.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I might have the same problem, I get the error
freeglut (foo): unable to parse game mode string `width>=640'
Maybe am have misunderstood the syntax for glutGameModeString? Choosing a gamemodestring of the compact format
640x480:16@60
"works" but doesn't give me a fullscreen mode, instead a small window without border in the left upper-most part of my screen. I run ubuntu 11.04.

Thanks for notifying us. However, it seems we cannot reproduce your problem. See: https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20111025201755.GA14138%40mutantstargoat.com&forum_name=freeglut-developer. Could you 1) try out the current trunk version of FreeGLUT, and if you still have problems, 2) continue discussing this on the mailing list?
Thanks!
