I don't consider it a top priority, and given there I have lots of other things to do I most likely wouldn't implement that. But I wouldn't object if someone comes up with a sane implementation. What we have right now is just a big mess though, both in code and the user interface. First, these are toplevel command line options. It belongs to -display though. Second, it's two hard-coded names for two hard-coded variations. So it's not like you can configure much. On top of that the names are not exactly intuitive. And it works with SDL only. cheers, Gerd
