Gentoo Full Text Bug Listing

Description:

Opened: 2006-09-01 16:42 0000

The attached patch applies over latest ~arch SDL version, and allows to use the
xinerama support to launch an application full screened on the head "0".

The SDL_VIDEO_FULLSCREEN_HEAD environment variable sets the head on which the
full screen will be displayed, but if you set it to 0, the code simply ignores
it as unset. My patch changes the unset value to -1, so that the 0 value can be
used correctly. Without this, trying to get fullscreen on head 0 would get the
same result than not having xinerama enabled at all.

I didn't send it upstream as I'm not sure if it's still an issue for them or
what else.

HTH,
Diego

upstream has rewritten a lot of the X stuff from scratch so i'll just keep it
in our ebuild

they rewrote the code for 1.3, but not 1.2 ... so i posted it upstream for 1.2
