My dual screen settings are set by


when I close Amnesia from fullscreen, it will disable DVI-1 by trying to change it back to my normal resolution, even though I was already in that resolution. I set my resolution to 1280x1024, and it doesn't change resolution on start.

This does have a workaround (re-executing xrandr) but with the workaround, it moves all my windows on to one monitor, which is annoying.

Are you using the provided SDL? or your system SDL? I would suggest trying the system SDL to see if that makes any different. (re-run the checklibs.sh script in the amnesia install directory after installing SDL on your system)

I have SDL installed from Arch's extra repository. After running checklibs.sh and running Amnesia, it still resets the resolution on closing.

Ok this seems like an SDL issue.. Amnesia distributes SDL 1.2.14 which has X randr enabled by default. It looks like your distribution is also distributing 1.2.14.. one of the changes in 1.2.15 is to prevent the "desktop reconfiguring" by disabling xrandr.

I would make sure you are using a 1.2.15 release or just nab the one from libsdl.org and put it in the libs or libs64 folder in the Amnesia installation folder.
