Thanks. Not getting the errors here, but trunk also stopped working in fullscreen (while 1.8 still runs). I'll try to figure out what's going on.
OK, after testing this for an hour with different version... it turns out it works randomly here. Some starts work, some fail. No pattern. And I guess probably not the same bug here. edit: On further testing Irrlicht 1.8 also crashes randomly. Maybe something in X11 or NVidia driver or something like that has changed (changing resolutions was never such a good way to do fullscreen anyway, especially since the CRT screen days are over, so maybe graphic-stack devs no longer care so much).

Do you maybe already use Wayland? I haven't given that a shot yet (last time it failed way before getting to testing Irrlicht, but that's been a while)
OK, I'm trying some workaround for now in svn trunk r6648. Demo uses desktop resolution for full-screen which I hope will cause less troubles. And I realize now I probably could even have added that to 1.8... phew, sorry.
Can you test if that works on your system?
