New issue 297 by goo...@oversoft.nl: Fullscreen mode not working
http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/issues/detail?id=297

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set config file to any resolution (i use 800x600, but changing it won't
make a difference).
2. Set config file to fullscreen.
3. Start the game

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Fullscreen mode in the selected resolution. However i just get a windowed
error saying: "No video mode large enough for 800x600" and it quits.
It does this on all 3 versions! (SDL, OpenGL and DirectX)

What version of CorsixTH are you using (e.g. "Beta 2", "SVN r123")?
SVN r784

What operating system / compile settings are you using?
Windows Vista 32-bit, precompiled downloaded from the OpenTH forums.

What level was this on (e.g. "Demo level", "Full game level 12")?
Start of game

I've just tried r784 and r790 with SDL, OpenGL and DirectX 9 running at
800x600 in
fullscreen mode without any problems, I am running Windows 7 x64.

Have you tried starting in windowed mode and then using the "options" menu
to switch
into fullscreen and see if it generates the same error?

This is almost certainly an SDL / video driver issue, and hence out of our
control.

If you google the phrase "No video mode large enough for" you'll see a lot
of forum
posts with similar problems on other games. Mostly games that use Pygame
which is a
Python wrapper for SDL. I'm not sure if they can offer any solutions.

I know that I'm years behind with this, but for posterity, I found that I
had this problem whilst running a monitor duplication with AMD Eyefinity. I
found that if I simply changed the monitor to an extension, rather than a
duplication then the game loaded without issue. If anybody is searching for
a solution in the future then try this.
