Milkytracker black screen on Nvidia gpu Linux with SDL 2.24.0 about milkytracker

I just opened issue #6271 to libsdl-org/SDL.

Have you tried resizing the window? I've seen something similar in the past where resizing the window made the contents appear.

[yves-le-berre]

The window can only have a size superior to the minimum windows size given in configuration (mine is 1440x900) and if i enlarge the window (i can do it because my screen is 1920x1080), it stays black. This has also the curious effect to disable the WM close window button (and corresponding menu item)

[yves-le-berre]

No more black window with milkytracker 1.03.00 and sdl2-git 2.24.0.r289.g8d2cb1555.

Given this new information, should I close this issue?

[yves-le-berre]

Yes, this behavior is due to SDL.
sdl2 release planned end of next month.

I am having this issue when I try to build - is it possible to choose a different renderer in the meantime?
Here's what I get in the console.
Available Renderers: opengl opengles2 software
But how to choose one or the other?
Edit: It's possible to force software rendering by changing the file "/src/ppui/sdl/DisplayDevice_SDL.cpp" and changing a few lines. But is it possible to choose one from the command line with a flag?
Anyways, display works when I do this.
