 Doesn't work full screen in multi-monitor configuration (set wrong ref rate in fullscreeen mode) [message #6573] |

In KDE, I create a simple multi-monitor configuration where the 2nd monitor or TV expands the screen to the right or down. No other full-screen applications or games, either native or via wine, have problems. But only in mednafen trying or launching or expanding to full screen not the main monitor leads to configuration failure and possibly crashing the X-server after which I have to reboot. Video card Radeon 7770HD driver radeonSI. [Updated on: Tue, 15 March 2022 17:27] | ||||

This was partially fixed in 1.29.0, but not completely. Now mednafen does not screw up the multi-monitor configuration, but it does change the refresh rate (60.00) to unsupported (59.96), so the TV screen does not display the signal from HDMI. Other full-screen applications don't do this, so they display fine. I have a Panasonic TX-P50VT60E European Plasma TV with the default setting of frequency 50.00. I change it to 60.00 in the xorg config. Section "Monitor" Identifier "HDMI-0" Modeline "1280x960" 101.25 1280 1360 1488 1696 960 963 967 996 -hsync +vsync Modeline "1280x960" 130.00 1280 1368 1504 1728 960 963 967 1005 -hsync +vsync Modeline "1440x1080" 129.00 1440 1528 1680 1920 1080 1083 1087 1120 -hsync +vsync Modeline "1920x1080" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080" EndSection And it runs fine with it. xrandr output. HDMI-0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 392mm 1920x1080 50.00 + 59.96 60.00* 59.94 30.00 25.00 24.00 29.97 23.98 The problem, which never bothered me, is that the tv does not support the frequency 59.96 for 1080p (it does not output an image), although xrandr for some reason lists it among the available ones. And for some reason only mednafen, when switching or running in fullscreen mode, for some reason, sets wrong frequency 59.96, which leads to no picture in fullscreen mode and returns 60.00 when switching to windowed mode. KDE has the ability to move a full screen application between monitors, and if I switching or running mednafen in full screen mode on the main monitor (DVI), and move it off the TV (HDMI), the frequency setting does not happen and mednafen works fine in full screen mode, until I return to windowed mode and switch it to full screen by At+Enter or other specified combination. In general I believe that mednafen should NOT change the screen refresh rate, and if it does need to change it to the correct 60.00 or 50.00. [Updated on: Tue, 15 March 2022 17:25] | ||||
