Screenshot problems in Demo 2

Hi,

I wanted to take some screenshots of Demo 2 (with the "p" key) but they always turn out as this:

What can I do?

This has always been an issue in the Linux version; if your game resolution is the same as your desktop resolution, screenshots come out black. Nobody knows why, but it does...

Well, it's not exactly black, some parts are rendered:

Will I be able to take better screenshots if I change the resolution?

Yup. Unless this is some other bug, which doesn't seem to be the case.

That's funny... I have both set to 1024x768 and I can get screenshots fine.

What resolution is this, nath?

It would be great if we could narrow this bug down a little. Does it happen only in fullscreen mode? What about windowed mode? What resolutions? Colour depths? Type of graphics card?

My desktop resolution is 1024*768, color depth is 32bit.

Those two screenshots are taken in 1024*768 fullscreen Darwinia.

If I lower the resolution of Darwinia, the screenshots are fine.

In windowed mode, the screenshots are fine as well!

I have a Geforce FX 5600 graphics card and am using the newest binary nvidia driver.

Well, I get the same problem on Windows. (Windows XP Service Pack 2; Intel Extreme Graphics Chipset; 1024*768*32 Fullscreen)

If more screenies are neccecary, then I'll post them.

And also, Congrats for making such a great game!
