Hello everybody,

I'm been compiling VICE from svn sources, and when i try to force double buffering (with omapdss via SDL) to avoid tearing, i get a black screen, but the emulator still works.

It would be great if someone could provide patches or sources.

Ups, not the right place to post this...
Any moderator could move this to development section?
Thanks.
 
Aaah.... I remember I we had that problem as well at the beginning...
AFAIR, I had to play around with different settings that have to do with the screen rendering, otherwise I had a black screen as well...
Are the settings files still compatible? Have you tried to use the settings file from Pickles Vice?
 
Did you check the size of the screen it open? I had issues sometimes were it try to open a way to large screen at start (like 2560x1520 or something like that).
 
I tried using Pickle settings, and tried any combination i could think on sdl-vicerc.

The only difference i see in pnd_out is this:

Pickle version:

SDLVideo: 320x200 16bpp (fullscreen)

My compiled version

SDLVideo:  VICII (active) 320x200 16bpp (fullscreen)
