Video cards supporting SDL fullscreen mode

SDL Development
1

I am porting a 2D graphics application to Linux using SDL. My
video card does not support SDL’s fullscreen mode, so I am
shopping for a more up-to-date card that will do so. But I am
thinking ahead now to my end-users (should I be so lucky as to
have any) and would like to have a list of video cards known to
support SDL fullscreen mode. I will then be able to advise my
users whether their equipment will run my application or whether
they will have to upgrade.

Thanks to any who can supply even a part of this list.

I don’t believe it’s SDL’s full screen mode so much as what OS you’re using,
etc. If you’re using X11 to do this, your video card has to support the
X_VID_MODE extension or something like that in it’s drivers (or provided
ones)…

Now as far as win32 enviroments are concerned, I have no idea ;)On Wed, Oct 24, 2001 at 01:23:52PM -0400, Bob Brill wrote:
