Fixed bug #80 Date: 21 Apr 2003 17:20:20 +0100 From: Alan Swanson <swanson@uklinux.net> Subject: [SDL] New XFree 4.3 Video Mode Patch If you look at the unsorted list of modes returned by X, here's mine; 1280 x 1024 @ 85.0 > 1024 x 768 @ 100.3 > USER 800 x 600 @ 125.5 > SET 640 x 480 @ 124.9 > 1280 x 1024 @ 75.0 ] 1280 x 1024 @ 60.0 ] 1280 x 960 @ 85.0 ] X11 1280 x 960 @ 60.0 ] AUTO 1152 x 864 @ 75.0 ]=20 1152 x 768 @ 54.8 ] 960 x 720 @ 120.0 ] ... 640 x 400 @ 85.1 ] 256k 576 x 432 @ 150.0 ] 249k PIXEL 640 x 350 @ 85.1 ] 224k COUNT 576 x 384 @ 109.6 ] 221k ... The user set modes come first followed by X set modes which are ordered by decreasing number of pixels and refresh. The reason why every other library or program not using SDL working is due to SDL scanning the modes in reverse getting X11 provided modes modes with the lowest refresh.

                         Simple DirectMedia Layer

                                  (SDL)

                                Version 1.2

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.

The current version supports Linux, Windows, Windows CE, BeOS, MacOS,
Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX.
The code contains support for AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, AIX, OSF/Tru64,
RISC OS, SymbianOS, and OS/2, but these are not officially supported.

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

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", and
a documentation wiki is available online at:
	http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi

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

Frequently asked questions are answered online:
	http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php

issues, you can join the developers mailing list:
