Title: Fullscreen problem
Post by: Teleswarm on February 08, 2009, 03:33:39 am

I've been playing with the window-opengl.cpp example, using SFML 1.3.

The unmodified program runs just fine, but trying to set the window to fullscreen produces a horrible crash. The modified line of code is :

Code: [Select]

sf::Window App(sf::VideoMode(1024, 768, 32), "SFML OpenGL", sf::Style::Fullscreen);

And the output is:

Code: [Select]

Failed to get the list of available video modes
The requested video mode is not available, switching to a valid mode
Failed to get the list of available video modes

#2 /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 [0x7ff92cd9f420]
#3 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 [0x7ff92f0675c6]

Some extra information:
- I'm using 2 screens and a NVIDIA video card (propietary driver)
- I'm not using a TwinView setup, and the XRandR isn't available.
- Doing the equivalent action using SDL works directly, same with games, and same with everything else.
- The OS is Debian GNU/Linux "sid" (unstable)

Please suggest me what to do since I'm trying to port an application from SDL to SFML. Thanks.

Also, a different but related problem.
Doing the same using NVIDIA TwinView actually runs, but the output is like, blinking horizontal lines in the screen instead of a "solid" window.

Have you tried SFML 1.4?

I just noticed that SFML isn't available for 64-bit Linux (at least in the Sourceforge site), so the code just won't compile. Will the source (labeled as i386) compile in amd64? Thanks.

Sure. The package is labelled as i386 because it's a full SDK with precompiled binaries included. But the source compiles on many other platforms.

Ok, I completely uninstalled the debian packaged SFML 1.3 and compiled using SFML 1.4. The error remains.

Output:
