Issue description
I have a multi-monitor setup and the game always stretches over the two screens in fullscreen mode. I can't force it to limit itself to one screen, even when manually setting a resolution in the cfg.ini. My only option is to play the game in windowed mode with a smaller resolution.

Additional info: I'm running KDE neon based on ubuntu 16.04 I have a AMD R7 260X with default mesa drivers
Steps to reproduce this issue
1. have multi-monitor setup 2. start game (in fullscreen mode) => game stretches over both screens

Hi.

Which versions of Arx Libertatis are you using? Do you get the same issue in other (SDL) games?

Please also try the latest development snapshot which brings lots of window management improvements from SDL2 (the last release still uses SDL 1.2).

If that doesn't help try running arx with different combinations of the SDL_VIDEO_X11_XRANDR, SDL_VIDEO_X11_XVIDMODE and SDL_VIDEO_X11_XINERAMA environment variables set to 0 or 1. In a terminal, run 

  1. SDL_VIDEO_X11_XRANDR=1 arx
 
  1. SDL_VIDEO_X11_XRANDR=0 arx
 

  1. SDL_VIDEO_X11_XVIDMODE=0 arx
 

  1. SDL_VIDEO_X11_XINERAMA=0 arx
