macsformeblast007: when we ask for an SDL window of a certain resolution and don't get it, that is indicative of a problem, right? because we would only ask for resolutions in the list of supported ones SDL already gave us08:01
macsformethis problem manifested several times now, like with scaled retina resolutions on MacBooks, and now with the Linux multi display issue08:03
macsformeso in both of those cases, they illustrated bugs within SDL08:05
macsformeI almost feel that erroring out is the better option in that case... although I don't think we currently have a way to cleanly abort from BzfWindow::create()08:08
macsformeso I guess handling it in some sane manner may be the best we can do08:17
blast007macsforme: the part that is driving me insane is that I get it working on one platform, but then it breaks on another platform :)11:20
blast007I might take another shot at it, but part of me wants to just release 2.4.20 without fixing any SDL stuff11:23

The_NoahOnce the switch to OpenAL is made, would a different window library be considered? Such as GLFW?17:42
