NAME¶

SDL_HINT_VIDEO_DISPLAY_PRIORITY - A comma separated list containing the names of the displays that SDL should sort to the front of the display list.

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_VIDEO_DISPLAY_PRIORITY "SDL_VIDEO_DISPLAY_PRIORITY"

DESCRIPTION¶

When this hint is set, displays with matching name strings will be prioritized in the list of displays, as exposed by calling SDL_GetDisplays(), with the first listed becoming the primary display. The naming convention can vary depending on the environment, but it is usually a connector name (e.g. 'DP-1', 'DP-2', 'HDMI-A-1', etc...).

On Wayland desktops, the connector names associated with displays can be found in the name property of the info output from wayland-info -i wl_output. On X11 desktops, the xrandr utility can be used to retrieve the connector names associated with displays.

This hint is currently supported on the following drivers:

• KMSDRM (kmsdrm)

• Wayland (wayland)

• X11 (x11)

This hint should be set before SDL is initialized.

AVAILABILITY¶

This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
