Hello all.
This is my first post to the sdl-list.
I have made a basic program that setup a window and draws some objects
(C++/Windows2000), and I must say SDL is great!
All works fine, including fullscreen.
However if I quit the application while in fullscreen mode, the
resolution i set in SDL will remain.
So if I have a 1280x1024 desktop, I have a 800x600 desktop after running
my app.
If anyone has a way of getting around this I’d be very gratefull. I
suppose one could set the mode before quitting? But how do I know what
videomode people ran in the first place - I haven’t found a
’SDL_GetVideoMode()’?
best regards,
Martin Kr?is

I have never encountered this problem, but are you remembering to call SDL_Quit()?
/Gorm
Sounds like what happens if your application crashes before it gets a
chance to close it’s window properly… It’s very common on Windows, but
I’ve seen it on X as well. It’s not SDL specific; on the contrary, the
SDL parachute seems to avoid the problem most of the time.

Hello,
I had this problem, and in my case it was because
SDL_Quit wasn’t being called - I believe SDL_Quit will
reset the resolution to the way it was. An
atexit(SDL_Quit) should work (though I’ve heard this
is not exactly a kosher thing to do) as would finding
all the spots where your programs stops and tossing an
SDL_Quit in there.
(Accidentally calling SDL_Quit more than once isn’t
going to hurt things, right? I sure hope not

Ok, sounds reasonable. As I have converted my C to C++ I think it will
now be easier to track down where excactly it exits ungracefully if this
is the problem.
Now I have some ideas to work with, at least it’s my code, not SDL that
crashes. A great thanks to all who answered.
