What’s the difference between SDL_GetCurrentDisplayMode and SDL_GetDesktopDisplayMode?
They both return the same value.
Matters in multimonitor setups. One returns the resolution of
individual displays (i.e. monitors), the other returns the resolution
of the virtual desktop (which contains all the displays).
On X11 the desktop can be larger than the display too (which would
result in panning), but that case is too rare as far as I know… I
only saw that behavior with a SDL bug regarding fullscreen (changing
the video mode but not the desktop size).

Hmm, still same output on a multi-monitor setup, using latest hg version. SDL_GetCurrentDisplayMode and SDL_GetDesktopDisplayMode both return 1366x768, 59hz.
“xrandr” output:

Any ideas?

If I remember correctly, when you’ve got a fullscreen window that has
changed the resolution of a display GetCurrentDisplayMode will return
the mode the screen is currently running and GetDesktopDisplayMode
should return the mode that the screen originally had, before you
changed it.

Oh I see now, thanks!
