Hello,
I have quite the same issue,
Minimal code to produce the bug :
int main(int, char const**) {
RenderWindow w(VideoMode(1600, 900), "Test",sf::Style::Fullscreen);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
I use :
SFML 2.3.2 (do the same with 2.1)
g++-4.9
Kubuntu 14.04.3
Nvidia GeForce GT840M 2 Go
Driver : NVIDIA binary driver - 352.63 (recommended driver)
I hope it can help you and I'm ready to test updates if you need.
But I never used git ^^
I will try to build
