I recently added a bunch of oddball video modes to my XF86Config, to support weird resolutions xine & mplayer need if I don't want to beat my cpu up with video scaling. Since adding them, SDL started picking the biggest video mode it could find that matched the height constraint. Getting a narrow vertical strip of QuakeForge (I code for the project, so needless to say it's my favorite test) in the middle of an 800x480 screen, instead of the 640x480 I asked for annoys me tremendously. So here's a patch that tries a bit harder to get an exact match. I didn't touch the XiG section, since I can't test that, but I'd bet a similar patch would prevent similar problems there. --Ragnvald "Despair" Maartmann-Moe IV

                                  (SDL)

This is the Simple DirectMedia Layer, a general API that provides low
level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL,
and 2D framebuffer across multiple platforms.

SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to
several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Java, Lua, ML,
Objective C, Perl, PHP, Pike, Python, and Ruby.

The current version supports Linux, Windows, BeOS, MacOS, MacOS X,
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, and IRIX.  The code contains support
for Windows CE, AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, QNX, NetBSD, AIX, OSF/Tru64,
and SymbianOS, but these are not officially supported.

This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be
found in the file  "COPYING".  This license allows you to use SDL
freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic
library.

The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in
the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory.
The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date.
More documentation is available in HTML format in "./docs/index.html"

The test programs in the "test" subdirectory are in the public domain.

Frequently asked questions are answered online:
