Re: [AD] Fullscreen problems on Linux

The point of doing this is to make things work in a cross platform way. ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN would always give you the best thing it can for a fullscreen display. If you have to start adding new options there's no point because the user can just as easily use ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN_WINDOW on their own. The whole point is to make ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN give you a fullscreen display that behaves exactly the same regardless of if the mode is set or if it's scaled behind the scenes by Allegro.

So, a virtual full screen then? For backwards compatibility I'd prefer
that
this becomes a separate option like ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN_VIRTUAL,
and that the real mode setting stays as it is.

Or, alternatively, if the ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN will change and become
a virtual full screen by default, then real mode setting should stay
available
as  ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN_REAL or similar.

Kind Regards,
