Details:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Set the xresolution and yresolution to some arbitrary numbers, f.ex.
1920x1080.
2. Let me have a 1280x1024 screen (different resolution than the above) and
start wesnoth in fullscreen mode (either with a --fullscreen option or with
the fullscreen set in preferences).
3. Wesnoth crashes (exits with error code 1) with the following command-line
messages:
(...)
Checking video mode: 1920x1080x32...
setting mode to 1920x1080x32
required video mode, 1920x1080x32 is not supported
could not initialize display
(...)
I have attached a log of
wesnoth -f --log-debug=all > wesnoth.log 2>&1
One may repair it by setting proper xresolution and yresolution in the
preferences file, but (as I guess) a usual user should never be forced to edit
it manually. If fullscreen is set in the preferences (either by default or by
user using another resolution earlier), then one is not able to launch wesnoth
just by running "wesnoth".
Possible solutions:
1. Wesnoth may try to go windowed mode after failing to run fullscreen.
2. Wesnoth may ask about the resolution if it encounters any problems (indeed
it complains about resolutions when switching from windowed to fullscreen mode
with the resolutions as mentionet above).
3. Wesnoth may try to guess the proper resolution for fullscreen mode.
What is more, wesnoth may ask user to choose the proper resolution when
encountering any problems changing from windowed to fullscreen mode.
I have not encountered this problem on Fedora Linux or Windows - on these,
wesnoth running in a bad resolution is just scaled (ugly!). It may be a
problem with SDL, but I think that this is not a bug of SDL that it does not
run in an inproper mode. Moreover, if(failed) run_windowed(); is... simple and
elegant, I guess?
