 Let's ask!

 Q: SDL output doesn't work or compile. Problem is ....
-A: It works only with SDL v1.1.7 (and maybe newer)
+A: It is tested with SDL v1.1.8 (probably runs on 1.1.7 too).
    It does NOT work with 1.1.6, 1.1.5 1.1.4 1.1.3 1.0.4 etc, don't ask.
 
 Q: I am still having trouble compiling with SDL support. gcc says something
@@ -33,11 +33,10 @@ Q: I have Pentium III but ./configure doesn't detect SSE
 A: Only kernel versions 2.4.x supports SSE (or try latest 2.2.19 or newer)
 
 Q: fullscreen option (-fs) and/or -xy doesn't work with x11 driver (-vo x11)
-A: x11 driver doesn't support scaling, and it can't change screen resolution.
-   Yes, I know that it should be but I have no time to write software
-   scaling routines and experiencing with XVidMode extension...
-   You can do it yourself, just press ALT,CTRL,- or ALT,CTRL,+ simultaneously,
-   see X-server docs for details.
+A: x11 driver doesn't support scaling, but XF86VidMode support is now
+   used: you must specify the -vm and the -fs switch, and you're done.
+   Make sure you have the right Modelines in your XF86Config file, and
+   try if the DGA driver works for you. It's much faster.

 A: try with -bps or -nobps option
