Description Andrey Budko 2011-05-24 00:29:48 UTC 
Something like that:

SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_SWAP_CONTROL, 1);
screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(...)
SDL_GL_GetAttribute(SDL_GL_SWAP_CONTROL, &temp); // temp is 1

bla bla

SDL_FreeSurface(screen);

SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_SWAP_CONTROL, 0);
screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(...)
SDL_GL_GetAttribute(SDL_GL_SWAP_CONTROL, &temp); // temp is 1
Comment 1 Ryan C. Gordon 2011-08-21 08:57:03 UTC 
Don't call SDL_FreeSurface(screen) ... if you replace that with...

    SDL_QuitSubSystem(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
    SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);

...then the problem should be fixed.

(In SDL 1.3, we have a proper API for toggling vsync on existing windows.)
