Linux KMS improvements

RetroArch General
#1

I’ve implemented full support now for multimonitor and mode selection in KMS.

Before, only “default” modes were set, but now you can use video_fullscreen_x/y + fullscreen mode to use resolution you want. In addition, if multiple resolutions match, it will use the configured refresh rate to try and find the closest available refresh rate.

Multi-monitor support is also in, so you can toggle between HDMI/laptop screen and whatnot with ease. Tested this on my HD3000 laptop and it works fine :slight_smile: I’ve added RGUI options to let you toggle monitor index in runtime. I’ve also added extra verbose logging so you can see which modes are available.

Nice ,

I’ve just tested Multi monitor from CLI on an old laptop wth a poor intel GM945 and works fine with KMS , im able to toggle to my external monitor if i set index to 2 (auto always use the laptop screen).
i also saw that my monitor support 17 modes but i don’t understand how i can change the default resolution ?

This is an exciting addition. It should be very useful to people doing the CRT native-res / 240p hokey pokey. Thanks!

Use video_fullscreen_x/y options along with fullscreen as mentioned.

Ok was thinking it was an RGUI option , only understand now that it was an option in config file :slight_smile:
