OK, that's fair enough, but sometimes I want to try real mode
setting even if that may fail. So as I proposed before then,
let's make ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN do "fullscreen display that
behaves exactly the same" as you suggest.
But we add an ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN_REAL option that wil
l only try to do real screen mode setting. It's something I
personally need for reasons already amply discussed.
I'm willing to support this option on Linux if no one else does.
Kind regards,
B.

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.
