Hi,
I need to be able to set and get information about the videomode I am
in with SDL very exactly (ie. getting vertical/horizontal refresh rate
like that is displayed in xvidtune). I was wondering if this is
possible with SDL, or whether there are certain assumptions I can make
about what these values are?
Partly what’s stumping me, is that if I set the screen res in SDL to
640 by 480, does it actually change the monitor screen mode, and if
so, what refresh values does it assume.
Best Wishes,
Tom Kay

You can’t. There has been lots of discussion about this. There needs to
be some API changes before this happens.

That really depends on the underlying plaform.
