[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 1714787] Re: Launching chocolate-doom or prboom-plus crashes Wayland session

[Jon Dowland]

Can you try either prboom or chocolate-doom with the '-nofullscreen'
command-line option? My hunch is the problem is related to trying to
change the display resolution whilst entering fullscreen mode.

It's likely actually an SDL1 bug. In Chocolate Doom's case, we are
moving to SDL2 with the next release (v3) which we consider to be the
proper way to address bugs like these, although I don't think prboom has
any plans to change.
