Actually, I tried that.  And while the program did show up in fullscreen
properly, for some reason it would not respond to my keyboard input. 
This happened both with one of Mesa 3.1's 3Dfx demo programs, as well as
with some game I compiled and ran.  I figured it might be some conflict
with XFree86 4.0, but if it's supposed to work then maybe it's an
unrelated problem I'm experiencing.  I'll try investigating further.

Thanks.
