Description augzilla 2010-01-30 16:28:20 UTC 
Perhaps the following is by design, or perhaps it is an oversight.

SDL_SetDisplayMode doesn't have a prototype in SDL_video.h and hence isn't available in the API.  This makes it difficult (or impossible?) to use some of the new refresh rate functionality.

When I export the function and use it in my program, it works as expected on my (Windows7) machine.

This is by design.  You're not supposed to use the mode stuff without a fullscreen window, at least at the moment.  Is there a reason you need this?
Comment 2 Sam Lantinga 2011-01-20 18:45:50 UTC 
No response for several months.  Please let me know if there's a reason you need to have direct access to this API.  Typically you associate a fullscreen mode with a window and then show the fullscreen window.
