The option is almost already there with "Keep desktop Resolution"
Please do make an option; because SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN
is more like how it is done in SDL1/Hatari

I'll do my best to help with getting SDL2 to work as good as SDL1
I believe that my old computer may help with finding bugs that are
not reproducible with newer Linux.

My latest patch has made me optimistic about SDL2 on old hardware
(I think half the problem is solved).

Note that I'm using the latest SDL2 sources on pentium3 CentOS 5.
If I get another computer in the next decade, I'll do tests with BSD.
