[SOLVED] FATAL ERROR: Unable to initialize display
I'm getting this error when trying to start in fullscreen mode.

FATAL ERROR: Unable to initialize display!

When I start up in windowed mode the screen flickers blue and then eventually starts up fine. This game seems like it was meant to be played in fullscreen so I was wondering if I can get any help. Let me know what system info or logs I need to post up.

Thanks.

Ok so I unchecked a box in my system settings under 'energy saver'. Was called 'Automatic Graphics Switching'. Fixed it. Thought I'd post that up if it happens to anyone else, I'm running a new 2010 MBP.
