why does SDL check whether it is running local before using the VidMode
extension?–

Because otherwise it will try to use the VidMode extension remotely which
results in an X error.

Actually it works fine here 
I am using XFree 3.3.6 and a TNT. I added
fullscreen caps to ClanLib and had a look at SDLs code. Well, VidMode
remote works fine here with remote X so I thought you had a hidden
reason for checking.–

It didn’t work with XFree 3.3.5
Hmmm…

I tested with G400 and TNT using both 3.3.6. From the theoretical side
it is supposed to work so I guess this got fixed :)–

Cool, I’ll add remote support for that soon then.
Thanks!
