SDL Fullscreen

If you''re using SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen it will fail because this function is only supported on X11.
Otherwise give some more information what and how you are doiing it.

Yeah I am using that function, what else can I use?

set to fullscreen at start-time, or destroy and recreate your window.

No, that didn''t work.

I''m using Dev-C++ with SDL and OpenGL. I want the put the screen in fullscreen mode. Nothing fancy.
It''s works if it''s just a normal window.

it does work, but you killed all your opengl resources, and due that, you have to reload all textures, vertexbuffers, what ever you have, and reset all states.

this is why they haven''t implemented this function in sdl. it needs work done by the users.

if you can go to fullscreen directly, you can switch from and towards it with ease. you just have to restore your opengl.

Do a call to SDL_GetError() to find out what error SDL is reporting - it returns a char* so you could output it to the console or use a MessageBox() depending on what platform your on.

I did that but it''s not printing anything, it''s just blank?

Where can I get example code that goes to fullscreen mode?

I got it to work. I put an extra option onto the videoflag. It doesn't take my screen width and height into consideration though.
