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

Locks the \fBmutex\fR, which was previously created with \fI\fBSDL_CreateMutex\fP\fR\&. If the mutex is already locked then \fBSDL_mutexP\fP will not return until it is \fIunlocked\fR\&. Returns \fB0\fR on success, or \fB-1\fR on an error\&.

SDL also defines a macro \fB#define SDL_LockMutex(m) SDL_mutexP(m)\fP\&.
