OK, i built descent with SDL 0.8.8 with -O6 -mamdk6 on egcs 1.1b. It
works great. but:
I can’t quit. i quit it, the screen goes black, and I have to kill it
with -9 to make it finish quitting.
How do I scale the screen or use fullscreeN? It’s tiny on my desktop.
I need it bigger.--------------------------------------------------

I wish I knew. Any ideas anyone? It just sits there… doesn’t crash, just
sits.

Add the command line ‘-fullscreen’ (I think it is) to the d1x command line.
It’s something like that. If you’re root, the SDL will give you DGA, which may
be faster.

Are you running it as root on an XFree86 display?
Do any of the other fullscreen demos work on your system?

Does this mean DGA is only available as root? I won’t get the benefit
if I run the game under a personal account?–
Me: I run Linux. Win95 user: Why? Me: Because I can.

That’s correct. It’s an unfortunate side-effect of the current Linux
ioport protection scheme. The alternative is to do "chmod 666 /dev/mem"
or equivalent, but this is a huge security hole.
GGI and the upcoming fbcon are supposed to be able to do full-screen
graphics without requiring suid-root, and will be supported when they
are stable.

I am running it as root on an XFree86 display (16 bit color - does that
matter?)
the other fullscreen stuff works.On Tue, 24 Nov 1998, Sam Lantinga wrote:

I accidentally replied to the list.
Can you reply to me privately?
Hey, I never received Games++, which I was told has Maelstrom on it.
Thanks for TurboLinux, BTW.
we’ve sort of discontinued games++… TL has Maelstrom on it too, though do you have 3.0? If not, I’ll have to send you one.
Anyway, I’m not the porter of D1X, but… I can tell you that -fullscreen
is ignored and it’s really REALLY small on my 1152x900 desktop. Fast as
hell, though, esp. with egcs and -O6 -mamdk6.On Tue, 24 Nov 1998, Sam Lantinga wrote:

Are you closing the sound properly? If you don’t, the audio thread can
keep the window open.
As far as I can tell, yes. I mean on an atexit(), I call SDL_CloseAudio()… Hey
wait a sec. do atexit()s get called at all if the thread is keeping the window
open?
I didn’t know I had to close it manually…? I just compiled the source
and ran it.
No, he means me I might have stuffed up while implementing it.
