I have the same problem. After much tinkering, I found out that running a inferior resolution than that of the desktop, I can run full screen until the screen-saver tries to come on, then the game goes windowed. Running at max resolution, the game goes to windowed mode immediately and am unable to control the game after that point. I think these two bugs might be related to the bug #157759. I am running intrepid 8.10 i386 fully updated 2.6.27-7 kernel.
