+# Patches for sdl12-compat on SerenityOS
+
+## `0001-Disable-forced-fullscreen-on-logical-scaling.patch`
+
+sdl12-compat forces fullscreen on anything that sets video mode
+and uses OpenGL logical scaling, causing rapid flickering and preventing
+execution. Not sure if this is an upstream bug or intended behavior,
+but disabling fullscreen at this point fixes the flickering.
