[Solved] Problem with graphic aplications with a vertical monitor

<< < (2/2)

Now I also tested in a 21' crt monitor, the problem continues

bitbytebit:
Does it also do it when you use the mame option -rol ?

tapule:
I think I found the problem in the sdlmame forum: http://www.bannister.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=54194&page=2
It seems that is a SDL 1.2.x problem so I will try the solution that is mentioned there and then I will post my results.
Bitbytebit, thank you very much for your help.

Ok, finally I have it working!!

The solution at first is simple, I have to compile sdl without the X11 xv extension so I downloaded the SDL source code and then do this:


--- Code: ---$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-video-x11-xrandr=yes --enable-video-x11-vm=no
$ make
$ sudo make install

--- End code ---
But here is where I found the problems, all SDL based programs has stopped working saying something like "No available video device". The problem is that SDL check for the xserver development libraries so if this libraries are not installed, SDL disable the X11 support, so no video device is available.

The solution (in Debian) is that you need to install the package "xserver-xorg-dev" before configure and compile SDL.

This solve the problem and now I have a minimal Debian install with Xorg running in vertical and mame working correctly (as stella, mednafen, etc).
