Fullscreen linux problem

SDL Development
1

Hi,

I am using SDL 1.2.8-r1.
When I am able to switch to fullscreen mode without a problem
SDL_SetVideoMode(800, 600, 0, SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_FULLSCREEN);

However, after I quit the application my desktop is resized - it is bigger and
does not fit on the screen. It looks the same as a virtual desktop - it moves
when the mouse cursor reaches a corner.
If I restart the X session everything is back to normal… until I try to switch
to fullscreen mode again.

Is there any special configuration I have to do? I could not find anything in
the SDL documentation.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Dimitar

Did you call SDL_Quit() before terminating your application?

–ryan.

The code was supposed to but there was a small bug and it was not.
After fixing it the problem is gone.
