But, of course, you can make an SDL window "fullscreen" without locking
anything, which is what I do:
$ fgfs --geometry=1152x864
Then I just let my window manager suppress the window decoration. There's
even an SDL flag to do that automatically: SDL_VideoMode(SDL_NOFRAME|...)
And the desktop size could be queried and the window set to that, too.
In other words: we are talking about an fgfs shortcoming, not an SDL
one.
It might be just me, but I haven't been able to get that to work right
in FC4 with gnome.
And I have to disagree, when SDL locks out other displays/head when you
go "fullscreen", that is definitely a feature of SDL, not a feature of
flightgear. I'll let someone else debate whether or not that "feature"
is a shortcoming or not. It definitely caused me some problems, but I
could have a very rare set of requirements.
When I did see this window-decoration-less approach work, it required
some manual intervention to get it all placed and configured properly
each time you run FG.
SDL is what it is. Glut is what it is. Freeglut isn't my favorite thing.
