Okay, I figured out a way. Since it was an OpenGL program crashing, OpenGL
has the answer:
// gcc -o vidmode vidmode.cpp -lglut
#include <GL/glut.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
glutInit( &argc, argv );
glutInitDisplayMode( GLUT_RGBA | GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_DEPTH );
//glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB);
glutGameModeString("2560x1600:3...@60");
glutEnterGameMode();
return 0;
}
It does seem to grab the screen for a while after running, but I guess if you
call the equivalent exit function it will put you back in your original mode
so you have to live with it.
I guess this looks like a bug with the OpenGL libraries rather than an XOrg
one after all, as I would assume the OpenGL libraries would restore the video
mode if the application terminated unexpectedly.
Cheers,
Adam.
