Hi all,
after detecting the facinating possibilites of SDL I’ve tried to compile
and install the SDL 1.1.8 on my BOX (SuSE 7.0 Kernel 2.2.16 running under
fbdev vesamode=788 cause connected over tv-out to the TV in livingroom).
First tries with the included testprogramms run fine at 640x480. But
getting a fullscreen output 800x600 fails allways. Is a Vesafb not
supported ??.. even it looks really nice in 640x480.
The next thing I’ve tried was to start an application (xmps) via a x-server
running on my win32 notebook which uses SDL … this seems to work.
After that I started X on my box and switched from console mode to X and
tried to start the testprogramms on X but this don’t work. The Programm
itself starts and it looks like it tries to use the SDL but nothing happend
… (sysconsole output no demsg nothing important). After login as root (su
-l) the testprogramm works … it switchs to a console (can see the login
prompt) and the test runs but only at 640x480.
Please help …
Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany
