Bug 769

Summary: Fullscreen causes system reboot
Product: SDL Reporter: gold_finch
Component: *don't know*Assignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: critical    
Priority: P2    
Version: 1.2.13   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Windows (XP)

I first had this problem on DOSBox. Everytime the window resized to fullscreen, Windows would immediately reboot with no warning messages. It's definitely an SDL issue, since the same problem arises when entering fullscreen on other SDL-based programs, such as ScummVM and DXX-Rebirth. I have tested the same programs on Linux, and they work perfectly when switching to fullscreen, so that rules out a hardware problem

Specs, if helpful:
Windows XP MCE SP3
Intel P4 3.0 GHz HT
ATI Radeon HD 3650 Pro, 1GB VRAM (PCIe)
2.5 GB SRAM

This sounds like a Windows video driver issue, actually.
