[Lemonlauncher-general] Question about SDL backed on /dev/fb

[Robin G. <rg...@bl...>]

I was trying to use lemonlauncher (which seems pretty cool BTW) - but was 
having a little problem...

In lemonmenu.cpp:

void lemon_menu::handle_run()
{
   game* g = (game*)_current->selected();
   string cmd(g_opts.get_string(KEY_MAME_PATH));

   log << info << "handle_run: launching game " << g->text() << endl;

   // this is required when lemon launcher is full screen for some reason
   // otherwise mame freezes and all the processes have to be kill manually
   bool full = g_opts.get_bool(KEY_FULLSCREEN);
   if (full) SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen(_screen);

   size_t pos = cmd.find("%r");
   if (pos == string::npos)
      throw bad_lemon("mame path missing %r specifier");

   cmd.replace(pos, 2, g->rom());

   log << debug << "handle_run: " << cmd << endl;

   system(cmd.c_str());

   if (full) SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen(_screen);

   // clear the event queue
   SDL_Event event;
   while (SDL_PollEvent(&event));

   render();
}

The problem (I think) is that SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen is only supported on 
X11, not with /dev/fb 

 http://linux.die.net/man/3/sdl_wm_togglefullscreen

Does it make sense to check the return code - Returns 0 on failure or 1 on 
success -  and do something else (although right now, I'm not sure what) if 
it fails?

When I run it - I get the exact thing that the comment says - lemon launcher 
is full screen, mame freezes and all the processes have to be kill manually

Any thoughts?
