VBoxSDL's fixedmode commad line parameter seems to be wrongly handled

Reported by: sebl Assigned to:
Priority: trivial Component: GUI
Version: VirtualBox 2.1.0 Keywords: vboxsdp fixedmode
Cc: Guest type: other
Host type: Linux

Description

If I start VBoxSDL with the following command line I get a 768x32 window. 

$ VBoxSDL -fixedmode 1024 768 32

Looking at the source code, src/VBox/Frontends/VBoxSDL/VBoxSDL.cpp seems to be inconsistent with src/VBox/Frontends/VBoxSDL/Framebuffer.{cpp,h}. VBoxSDLFB's constructors takes 7 parameters, while VBosSDL.cpp passes only six of them, `bool fKeepHostRes' seems to be ignored by mistake. The fix should be trivial. A quick'n'dirty solution patch is attached.

Forgot to add: As quick workaround, until official fix, it is possible to change -fixedmode's syntax since <bpp> parameter seems to be ignored, eg: 

$ VBoxSDL -fixedmode 0 1024 768
