Summary: SDL fullscreen with portrait screen offset

Description cuervjos 2009-02-28 10:52:49 UTC 
Running an SDL app in fullscreen having my display in portrait mode (using xrandr  -o left), the frames seems to be affected by an offset of hundreds of pixels. It looks like my frame is prerendered into a square surface which is then drawn on the display (producing then this offset). I'm using SDL 1.2 on debian lenny.

XRandR isn't supported on SDL 1.2, for a variety of reasons.

FYI, on my laptop it sets the proper video mode, albeit not in portrait mode, and then spews an X error on shutdown.

If you really want to try it, you can set the SDL_VIDEO_X11_XRANDR environment variable to 1 and see what happens. :)
