We others using Linux were having a similar issue; the "freeglut" doesn't seem to like "automatic" settings forcing width and height of screen to be hard-coded and, otherwise, it needs more time to draw a graphics window. "freeglut" or the threading code related to it might need an update for the large screens that are becoming more common in recent times.
@bplus since this is your forum... but I caught you using the "official" QB64 with Wine, ha ha ha.
I just noticed the program I looked at had a different look by a different author, that's why at first I proposed for "_DELAY 1" to be put just before "SCREEN _NEWIMAGE()", and never noticed the "_DESKTOPWIDTH" and "_DESKTOPHEIGHT" being used earlier.
