Fixed bug #727
Lorenzo Desole 2009-04-19 07:36:10 PDT
I am one of the developers of a multimedia application (My Media System MMS),
which uses SDL.
MMS is normally running in fullscreen mode but it switches it off before
launching external applications (mplayer, xine, etc.).
The problem with fullscreen is that when the latter is switched off either via
SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen() or SDL_SetVideoMode(), SDL compares the current
screen sizes with the ones saved when the video system was initted, and if they
don't match, it calls XF86VidModeSwitchToMode() to switch to the old modeline.
This makes it impossible for external programs and for MMS itself to use RandR
to change the screen size, because next time fullscreen mode is turned off, it
bombs out with the following error:
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 136 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
Minor opcode of failed request: 10 (XF86VidModeSwitchToMode)
[...]
Obviously this happens only if the new screen resolution is smaller than the
original one and XF86VidModeSwitchToMode() can't succeed.
I couldn't find any way to inform SDL that the screen resolution it uses as
reference is no longer valid.
This can be fixed by adding "save_mode(this)" to
./src/video/x11/SDL_x11modes.c, API X11_EnterFullScreen(_THIS), like this:
int X11_EnterFullScreen(_THIS)
{
int okay;
+ save_mode(this);
I can't rule out possible side effects, but I don't see any.
While I admit this is a minor issue for the general users, it is a major
showstopper for our program where the ability to change screen resolution and
refresh rate according to the movie being played, is very important.
Thanks in advance.

| 49 .PP | |
| 50 8-bit pixel formats are the easiest to understand\&. Since its an 8-bit format, we have 8 \fBBitsPerPixel\fR and 1 \fBBytesPerPixel\fR\&. Since \fBBytesPerPixel\fR is 1, all pixels are represented by a Uint8 which contains an index into \fBpalette\fR->\fBcolors\fR\&. So, to determine the color of a pixel in a 8-bit surface: we read the color index from \fBsurface\fR->\fBpixels\fR and we use that index to read the \fI\fBSDL_Color\fR\fR structure from \fBsurface\fR->\fBformat\fR->\fBpalette\fR->\fBcolors\fR\&.

90 Pixel formats above 8-bit are an entirely different experience\&. They are considered to be "TrueColor" formats and the color information is stored in the pixels themselves, not in a palette\&. The mask, shift and loss fields tell us how the color information is encoded\&. The mask fields allow us to isolate each color component, the shift fields tell us the number of bits to the right of each component in the pixel value and the loss fields tell us the number of bits lost from each component when packing 8-bit color component in a pixel\&. |
