Hi Jan, Thanks for the insight. Press Alt-Enter to switch to windowed mode.
I only have one monitor at home and have not done any multi-monitor testing or planning yet. Also, I figured it was premature to do anything like that since I want to switch to SDL 2.0 eventually. I tried 2.0 about a month ago and fullscreen didn't work at all, so the switch wasn't possible for this release. Ryan Gordon has been busy trying to fix fullscreen on Linux once and for all: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/wm-spec-list/2012-October/msg00001.html Another option (if fullscreen remains a mess on Linux) is to start the Linux version in windowed mode. However, this can only work of the game can reliably lock the mouse to the window during gameplay (if it leaves the window and changes focus, you'll crash and die). I have had inconsistent results with this so far. I hear about similar problems on Windows with my old OpenGL screensavers, and I have never heard of a solid catch-all multi-monitor solution on any platform. Seems like it's only ever possible to get consistent behavior with one monitor :( -- Terry Welsh www.reallyslick.com Cool, well done! > > I have only a little nitpick - on Linux with Twinview the game starts > stretched across both screens, making it unplayable (the ship is > directly between the two monitors).
