AH! that problem!SFR wrote:Hi Scsijon
As for the main problem (maximized/fullscreen windows on external screen) it doesn't seem to be related to SDL at all (eg. YT [Flash/HTML5] doesn't make use of it, I believe?).
Like I said in the other thread I don't use/own an external monitor, however I just recalled that 1.5-2 years ago when I set up Slacko-5.3.3 (JWM s578) on my mate's laptop and we were trying to get the display on his TV, the resolution was ok, but we wasn't able to force Gnome-Mplayer's window to fill the entire screen.
I think the occupied area was equal or close to the laptop's native resolution...
Greetings!
It will always default to the video devices internal native resolution unless it's set by the kernel or you tell puppy that you want another.
The setting is in the Puppy startup command by adding something like
puppy video=800x600 (or 1024x768, etc....)
alternately you can use the hex codes for linexcolumn.
puppy video=0xnnn
But it's only what ever you have available in the video chips set (not the full drivers set) which is usually smaller.
However if the kernel has been configured internally with a fixed size your stuck with what has been decided in the kernel.
sorry
