Default SDL and multiple outputs

Anyone using SDL? If your application works upon it, how do you manage multiple windows / second output?

SDL (as of version 1.2) doesn't support multiple windows. They really took the 'simple' in the name to heart, and sometimes it shows up in weird places like this. IIRC version 2.0 was supposed to add support for more than one window, but that effort seems to have been stalled for some time.

damn... thats really disappointing. Are you aware of any decent viable alternatives? I'm looking for cross platform, OpenGL capable and handling mouse / keyboard input.

The only cross platform OpenGL capable window managament API that I know of is the old standard, "GLUT".

Here's an article that talks about managing windows with it -

Good luck,
