Fullscreen with SDL
Author
I am having trouble bringing my OpenGL application to fullscreen using SDL.
When hitting the F1 key, SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen is called. However, it won''t change to fullscreen.
That''s what I''m doint. I indeed get the error message, so SDL can''t change to fullscreen. I am using Win32. I read somewhere that this only works on X11 but somehow coudln''t believe it.
Anyone knows if that''s true and if yes: Can I at least use GLUT to change to Fullscreen?
According to the SDL docs
You can try using
SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen is only available under X11.You can try using
SDL_SetVideoMode, as suggested by tamatito in the doc page, instead to recreate your main window surface using the appropriate flag (SDL_FULLSCREEN).

In fact, I highly suggest you do NOT use that function. Even under X11, it has problems. I found that it was MUCH easier to simply write my own that did a brand new SetVideoMode.
(oh, and the problem i was having was that I only had a few video modes to work with and when using that function, it switched to the next-highest mode and displayed itself in a box in the middle of the screen. I was using openGL, so I didn''t care about resolution. I enumerated available modes and resized to the bigger size myself. tadaa! no more window in the middle surrounded by black, a nice fullscreen instead.)

Ok thank you guys. I will change the code to change to VideoFlags of SDL_SetVideoMode.
