Why don’t you just add both of them as two different displays, and let the
application decide how to use them?On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 9:27 PM, Frank Zago wrote:
Hello,
I’ve got the 2 screens working on the DS, but I’m unsure how to present
them.
I think I should give several options:
only the bottom display (and use the top one for a text console)
aggregate both displays with no gap to give a 256*384 screen
aggregate both displays with a ghost zone of 92 line in between to give a
256*476 screen
If I do that, should I call SDL_AddDisplayMode() 3 times with the different
parameters or should everything be handled in CreateWindowFramebuffer() ?
You can even give them bounds rectangles reflecting their actual physical
relationship.On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 10:39 PM, Sam Lantinga <@slouken> wrote:

Will the application have to deal with 2 different screens ? Will
CreateWindowFramebuffer() be called once per display ? It’s not clear to me.
Is there some documentation somewhere ? I didn’t find anything.

If they are two different screens, then CreateWindowFramebuffer() would be
called for each of them, and the application would treat them like two
monitors.
I don’t have a strong preference, but I think keeping them as separate
displays gives the application the most flexibility and awareness of what’s
going on.
If you’re strongly in favor of creating a “merged” display, I would
recommend leaving the default as two displays and using the hint
(SDL_hint.h) system to let the application tell you it wants to see them as
a single display.
