Additional selectable resolutions for the video menu

[MCR]

Hey !

I am currently preparing a patch to upgrade the resolutions list & to enhance the comments with ratios & names for the different resolutions...

Initially my intention was just to upgrade the resolutions-list for me, because my desktop-resolution is 1920x1440@85Hz on a old 22" monitor & I wanted to run UFO:AI with the same resolution...
But then I realized that many very important 'mainstream' resolutions where missing, so I added those also

I used this as reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vector_Video_Standards2.svg

Okay. Enough talk. Here are some screens. If you find a important resolution missing, please post it here...

I dont really understand with you post all this screenshots...

Anyway. SDL provide the list of available screen resolutions. That the way it should work. It is not done ATM. Maybe we can add new hard coded resolutions in the game, but we will have ordering problems.

Jobs is:
* reworking the resolution ids (i dont remember, there is useless dependencies, we must remove resolution id, instead id we must use "width" and "height" values)
* using SDL function to generate resolution list
* feature: creating a function to order resolutions

Look bayo, I just was interested in being able to choose the resolution that 'fits' my screen & I thought some people with 1920x1080 pixel & other common TFTs would maybe also want to change their fullscreen resolution to the native one of the TFT without having their gfx interpolated...

If you want to extend or upgrade anything feel free to do it, but I think the patch I already posted would be a start here ...

I ordered the resolutions first by their ratio, then by size (from small to big)...

Maybe you are right with the screenshots & this is easier to read:

The id is the third data on the table. We can't order the list while we have id dependancies.

Mattn already implemented the most elegant solution here...
Great !
@Mattn: Just wanted to close my patch ticket, but you were faster again

please report any problems with it (except the too long list )
