[Qemu-devel] [Bug 613681] Re: implement true fullscreen

Actually it does not quite work (ctrl+alt+f).   It works for some small
standard screen sizes, but chokes (aborts) on larger screen sizes.

 "Could not open SDL display"

and.. oops.

This is what Anthony had to say to my email to qemu-devel about this
issue:

===
Depending on how SDL is configured, it uses DGA or some other relic to actually 
implement full screen mode.  You cannot get a DGA screen that's larger than the 
physical monitor since it's often backed by video memory.  SDL isn't smart 
enough to degrade into a scaled mode either.

Honestly, SDL full screen mode is a bad idea.  We offer no indication
that the guest is actually running which is potentially very
confusing/dangerous.  We need a better backend to really implement a
functioning full screen mode.

Anthony Liguori

So I'm not seeing how this bugreport is invalid... ;)

Bug description:
Please implement a fullscreen functionality (similar to the one found in 
vmware, where there is an autohide bar), that enables display of a 1920x1080 VM 
on a 1920x1080 (for example) without resizing (currently the menubar prevents 
this).
Thank you.
