David,
Thanks, Jonathan. On Debian Buster (Debian 10), the first package exists. The second wasn't found. When I tried using Synaptic, "libsdl2-ttf-2.0-0" was found. Don't know if the Setup_CodeBlocks.txt file needs to be updated?
No. It tells us which file is needed. Every flavor of Linux is different.
Yah, familiar with that. Seems a bit silly to me!
Tried updating the fractint.cfg file with a 256-color entry for 4K (3840x2160) resolution, but selecting it only makes XFractint SDL abruptly vanish. Yet starting with the default window size (640x480 and stock mandelbrot) I can maximize the window and XFractint happily re-renders it at 4K resolution.
A full screen resolution needs space for borders. It's an SDL thing. Although, maximizing the window, which should do the same thing, actually works.
On Debian, using XFCE, alt-space and selecting Fullscreen shows just the image, no border.
Try renaming "fractint.cfg" and starting Fractint. You should see (when you press <DEL>) a list of available video modes. I don't recall if it will get saved. I've always added video modes to Fractint by editing the fractint.cfg file in a text editor. I know how to pick video modes using Del. That's how I was picking the mode(s) I've added to mine. ;)
Is there a way to create and save video modes IN Fractint? Will do some more poking around and see how this higher resolution affects things. :) -- David W. Jones gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community http://dancingtreefrog.com
