You cannot have 1.2.11 if you don't have current_w and current_h fields
in the SDL_VideoInfo struct. If you are working on Linux, and using
your distribution's packaged version which says it is 1.2.11, it is
lying - remove it and install from a source build. Ideally, you should
check out the version from SVN and use this.

If you are using Windows, I just checked the SDL-devel-1.2.11-VC6.zip
and SDL-devel-1.2.11-mingw32.tar.gz archives - they both have the
SDL_video.h that defines current_w and current_h as well.

This will only work on Linux/BSD/any X11 system, and isn't portable.
