Summary: fbcon doesn't reset vidmode on SDL_Quit()
Product: SDL Reporter: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Component: videoAssignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2

Description Ryan C. Gordon 2007-01-25 19:48:58 UTC 
Apparently the fbcon target doesn't always reset the video mode on exit:

Most relevant info follows.

"Here's the exact code that will duplicate the problem:

int main(int argc, char**argv)
{
    SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
    SDL_SetVideoMode(1024, 768, 32, SDL_FULLSCREEN | SDL_ANYFORMAT | SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_DOUBLEBUF);
    SDL_Quit();
    return 0;
}

Here's output of "dmesg | grep radeon":

radeonfb: Found Intel x86 BIOS ROM Image
radeonfb: Retrieved PLL infos from BIOS
radeonfb: Reference=27.00 MHz (RefDiv=12) Memory=378.00 Mhz, System=338.00 MHz
radeonfb: PLL min 20000 max 40000
radeonfb: Monitor 1 type CRT found

I'm using linux kernel 2.6.16.27 (built using LFS 6.2 and jhalfs).  I've added a few items from blfs like nfs + dependencies, along with inetd servers.

Like always, any help is appreciated... now onto my V4L Hauppauge ImpactVCB issue :-)."

(This worked for me when I tested it...I think it might be a flakey kernel driver.)
