SDL and PS2Linux screen problems with Pal

Hi all,
There seems to be some problem with running SDL on a PAL television.
The Problem is that the display seems to be split in half (i.e. what should be the left edge of the screen is actually displayed in the middle) because of this you get the half of the display which should be on the right running from the left screen edge to the middle, and the part of the screen that should be on the left starts at the middle of the screen and runs to the right edge.

To fix this problem:
issue the command:

setcrtmode pal1

it should then work fine.

Hi Richard,

This is a well known problem for PS2Linux, only interlaced PAL is correct.
