Re: changing display resolution using SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN with multiple displays not working on mac OS X (el capitan) ?

Have never tried multiple windows fullscreen on multiple monitors, but one
thing that sticks out immediately is you using the
SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP flag. This will not change resolution, but
always keep current desktop resolution. At the very least, you'd want to
use SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN instead.

See https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_WindowFlags

when I change the flags SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP to
SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN, SDL is supposed to change the resolution of both
monitors to 1024 x 768. A lot happens on the screen : flickering windows,
typical macos fullscreen resizing animation, flashing menu bar, …  but the
whole function stays stuck in he first CreateWindow() call
