How to activate xrandr on a rapsberrypi to run SFML ???

[Lolilolight]

I'm just wandering if it'll work with SDL on a rapsberry pi.

If yes I think I'll use SDL rather than SFML for the "windowing".

That's a question for the SDL forums...

It works with SDL.

[Laurent]

Good for you. You should switch your entire codebase to SDL, it works much better than SFML.

You know, if you had spent anytime looking at the issue tracker or well understood the current dependencies, you'd have seen that Xinerama isn't supported.

Just don't get any stupid ideas to post your SDL problems here, ok? Good.

It's not about Xinerama alone. I've read a bit about this recently as well and as far as I know now, the Pi doesn't have any hardware acceleration in/through X11 (probably the reason for the crashes/issues). Instead, you'd have to get an OpenGL (ES) context using other means (don't remember specifics right now), which would cause the hardware accelerated context to run "on top" of the X desktop. This would have to be implemented into SFML first. There's no way to use SFML's window/graphics modules right now out of the box.
