RandR support?

SDL Development
1

Has anyone worked on adding RandR extension support to the X11 backend
yet? From what I can tell, right now SDL only supports changing
resolutions using the old and ugly XFree86-VidMode extension. I think
it would be important in the long term for SDL to have RandR support.
(for example, the experimental XGL server supports only RandR)

Anyway, if nobody has tackled the issue yet, I’d like to give it a
shot. I’m just asking to avoid doing something that someone else has
already worked on.–
