Ok maybe i just try here my luck, i have a problem with the camera in the Linux client of SL every time i want to adjust my camera with my mouse, the camera start to jerk around like crazy a short time which is quite anyoing when walking around and such. After a while i now found out that this problem is just in fullscreen. Another note this is only in the Linux client not in Windows.

Ohh and another note, if you switch to fullscreen in the new Linux client and try then switching back to windowed mode SL simply exit, no error message in the console.

Does it help if you start the client like this?
