Bug 129294 – [patch] add fullscreen toggle support to media-libs/libsdl-1.2.9

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2006-04-08 18:08:12 UTC]

This patch adds the ability to toggle apps and games using libSDL's fullscreen mode between full and windowed using a few different key sequences.

    * Right-Alt & Enter - Toggle between FullScreen/Windowed.
    * Left-Alt & Enter - Iconify Window.
    * Left-Control & G - Disable the mouse grab that keeps the cursor inside the window.
    * Right-Control & G - Re-enable the mouse grab to keep the cursor inside the window.

Testing w/ libsdl-1.2.9 and Neverwinter Nights, Frozen Bubble, and Tomatoes worked as advertised.  Patches against older versions are available are also available at the URL above.

not gonna happen.

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2006-04-09 17:02:56 UTC]

hmm ?  this patch has been posted to the libsdl list already ?

it may have, but i see they're ripping out the ToggleFullScreen functions in favor of something more portable in 1.3 anyways.

plus, after reading through the sources i realized how totally ugly a hack this is and i'm kind of embarrassed i proposed it in the first place.
