Title:
FreeGlut GameMode does not resize the desktop
Status in “freeglut” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I believe the issue is an outdated version (2.6.0-1ubuntu2) of
freeGLUT in Ubuntu Quantal (12.10).
Warning: My description may not be necessarily accurate, but I'll do
my best.
In freeGLUT, there is what is called a "game mode" where you have an
undecorated fullscreen window and the desktop is resized to fit that
window, not to be confused withe the fullscreen functionality of a
browser for instance, where the window is streched to whatever size
the desktop is.
Anyway, what is happening with the current package in Quantal is that
the undecorated window is created, but the desktop does not resize to
fit that window. This does work in earlier versions of Ubuntu, that
I've used, just not this one.
There is a newer verson of freeGLUT available, and I have tested the
packages from here: https://launchpad.net/~floe/+archive/libtisch
and I can verify that the game mode functionality does with this
package, so to me this suggests the current version in the official
Ubuntu repository needs to be updated.
For convenience, I'm including the source file that I'm testing the
behavior with. This file is from here (second post):
http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/showthread.php/168534
-freeglut-GameMode-behaviour?p=1188386&viewfull=1#post1188386
and the only change I made was to change the game mode window size to
800x600 so that the resolution changing behavior could be tested.
This should compile with "gcc main.cpp -o freeGLUTgamemodeTest -lGLU
-lglut" as long as you have the required libraries.
