Re: [Tuxmath-devel] Fullscreen issues

Interesting. I'm not at all well-versed in X, but for what it's worth
I played around with settings and got an extended dual screen
up--1280x800 on the laptop and 1280x1024 on the external. When I ran
the game, SDL detected an "optimal" resolution of 2560x1024! It ran
fine, too, besides the fact that the 1280x224 bottom-left portion of
the screen wasn't being displayed at all :) The only other display I
could get to work was the external forced to 800x600, which also ran
the game fine.

"3. If I'm running without the monitor, but running X & my desktop at 1280x1024
anyway, then I was getting X lockups on fullscreen but not --windowed."

Hmmm. X thinks that 1280x1024 is where it's at, but SDL_ListModes gets
its information from hardware and knows better. So when SDL queries,
it bypasses X, but when it tries to use that mode, it does go through
X somehow. Out of curiosity, are you getting a hardware surface? Mine
is in software.
