Sdl_fullscreen

Sascha_Gunther · October 15, 2000, 1:44pm

Hi Sam.

Is it possible, that you took out the SDL_FULLSCREEN flag from the
current cvs snapshot ?

When I try to setup a Surface with :

SDL_SetVideoMode (800,600,32,SDL_SWSURFACE || SDL_DOUBLEBUF ||
SDL_FULLSCREEN);

the application runs in windowed mode.

greetings,

Sascha

You’re using logical-OR rather than bitwise-OR, so the last parameter
evaluates simply to 1. I think what you really want is this:

SDL_SetVideoMode (800,600,32,SDL_SWSURFACE | SDL_DOUBLEBUF | SDL_FULLSCREEN);

Hi guys,
This is the definition for SDL_FULLSCREEN :

SDL will attempt to use a fullscreen mode. If a hardware resolution change
is not possible (for whatever reason), the next higher resolution will be
used and the display window centered on a black background.
http://sdl.beuc.net/sdl.wiki/SDL_SetVideoMode

I use SDL on a Debian machine. this machine works on 800x600 resolution
very well but when i run my SDL program, it creates a full screen window
that my 800x600 program is 3/4 of the screen and another areas are black.
what’s the solution for this problem? by the way i have tried another video
mode like :

SDL_SWSURFACE

Create the video surface in system memory

SDL_HWSURFACE

Create the video surface in video memory

SDL_ASYNCBLIT

Enables the use of asynchronous updates of the display surface. This will
usually slow down blitting on single CPU machines, but may provide a speed
increase on SMP systems.

SDL_ANYFORMAT

Normally, if a video surface of the requested bits-per-pixel (bpp) is not
available, SDL will emulate one with a shadow surface. Passing
SDL_ANYFORMAT prevents
this and causes SDL to use the video surface, regardless of its pixel depth.
but they all have the same result.
thanks.

Did you try some of the official
SDL examples like testsprite to
make sure it is not a problem in your code ?

If not, download :

http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.15.tar.gz

Compile testsprite.c in the test directory and execute
it with your wanted flags, for width and height and fullscreen,
to see if it shows the same problem as your code.

You do not need to change testsprite in any way, it provides nice
commandline options.

If the screen doesn’t support 800x600, then there is no simple
solution. One solution is to make your program support more video
modes. This will be lots of extra effort and you probably will find
that you can’t support every possible resolution. The other solution
is that if your desired resolution isn’t supported, render to an
off-screen buffer and then stretch (or shrink!) it into place. This
could be slow and result in significant artifacts depending on your
art style.

SDL’s documented behaviour is the simplest way for your program to
"just work" on a wide variety of resolutions, including those that
aren’t in commercial consumer hardware yet.>> I use SDL on a Debian machine. this machine works on 800x600 resolution

It seems like your monitor does not support 800x600 (SDL_ListModes() is one
way to see that if you don’t have a tool already). Some programs (like
your window/desktop manager) can easily stretch or adapt to any resolution,
but SDL won’t do magic for you.

If you’re willing to add an OpenGL dependency, you can try SDL_gpu (
http://code.google.com/p/sdl-gpu). SDL_gpu has a virtual resolution
feature so you can write your program in 800x600 but scale it automatically
to any resolution, like whatever your monitor has natively.
