Description Pawel Salek 2004-08-23 20:49:21 UTC 
Description of problem:
SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen does something wrong to the image: the screen
splits in two parts and the lower part shakes, also on a LCD screen.
This breaks all SDL-based games, too. full screen xscreensave hacks
are ok (tested with /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/antspotlight  -fps
-delay 0 -root). I saw this problem first on fc2 but could reproduce
with rawhide version as well.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
SDL-1.2.7-3 and SDL-1.2.7-7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile attached test program with 
cc fullscreen.c `sdl-config --libs --cflags`
3. run it and move the move the mouse pointer up and down - you will
see the pointer screen wide when crossing the middle of the screen,
  

Actual Results:  You will see the pointer screen wide when crossing
the middle of the screen.
  

Expected Results:  Smooth black image.

Additional info:

LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=y does not remove the problem.

fullscreen.c

The test program - but running any full screen SDL-based program will most
likely do.

This is a driver problem, not a SDL problem.
Assigning to X.

I should have mentioned that the problem is still present on
xorg-x11-6.8.1-.902 and the rumour is that it is related to DVI
connections.

I filed the report at
