When one changes the desktop video mode when one has an SDL application
running in windowed mode, one is left with a pure-black SDL window with
the program still running. If you switch back to the previous video
mode, the window starts working again.
The console window(I tend to compile in console-mode) was still working
fine, so I added code to catch SDL_VIDEORESIZE events - and to my
suprise, there weren’t any. It would be very convenient if SDL could
generate a SDL_VIDEORESIZE event when Windows switches video modes on
you; is this possible?

i assume you should be getting SDL_ACTIVEEVENT when this happens? i’m not
sure of the specifics, but perhaps just watch for these events and see how
they interact with what you are doing?
Yes, I do get SDL_ACTIVEEVENT. However, I also get SDL_ACTIVEEVENT at times
when Windows is not changing resolutions so that’s unfortunately not very
useful.
