Package: torcs
Version: 1.3.1-2
Severity: normal
torcs can be built with xrandr support to detect available screen resolutions.
Indeed it has a dependency on libxrandr-dev. However it is currently compiled
without it ( --disable-xrandr passed to configure command line) and can only
uses hard-coded resolution, and some common ones are missing (e.g. 1440x900).
According to the changelog there is this change with 1.3.0-2:
* Exclude xrandr from configure to workaround OpenAL bug when it can't open
a sound device (Closes: #445806)
However bug 445806 (Torcs can crash if OpenAL is unable to open a sound device)
has nothing to do with xrandr and indeed is providing a patch for
src/modules/graphic/ssggraph/grsound.cpp, so I suggest to consider removing the
--disable-xrandr configure flag to make available all screen resolutions.
If for some reason the --disable-xrandr should really be needed, dependency on
libxrandr-dev should be dropped.
Thanks.
