Bug 693

Summary: Full screen modes do not change actual display resolution

Description Dmitri Vedenko 2009-02-05 08:54:13 UTC 
I'm using revision 4415 of SDL 1.3 with OpenGL. When I try to create a fullscreen window with resolution less (but compatible with hardware) then current resolution of X Server the actual display resolution stays unchanged. The window is created without borders/title bar and located somewhere in the middle of the screen.

BTW, in version 1.3.0 creating a fullscreen window results in SDL error. SDL_GetError reports failure of creating surface with absolutely strange values for width and height

I think this is due to the bug #702.
So could you test the patch in that.
I assume your X server has XRANDR extension support as it's quite a standard nowadays.

Surely it does. Thank you for patch
