Usdx: Black screen on macOS Mojave 10.14.1

[bohning]

After updating to macOS Mojave 10.14.1, after fixing fpc and reinstalling the XCode Command Line Tools and can now again compile USDX without problems.

However, when I start the game, I only get a black screen. The game is running, I can hear the background music, can (blindly) navigate to exit the program, so this is merely a graphics/display problem.

Details

• USDX version: fd788a2 (head)
• macOS Mojave 10.14.1

As discussed in #389, this is most likely this Bug: https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4272

Thanks for the quick reply, @s09bQ5. I missed the discussion in #389.

Current workaround that works for me: edit config.ini and set FullScreen=Off, then start the game, double-click on the window to resize to full window, then hit Alt+Enter to go to borderless.

Good news, this issue is somewhat gone. In the end, USDX behaves as expected. However, the loading screen is still a black screen (that shows the colored ball for loading), which then turns into the start screen of USDX. So while it is not the expected behavior, it is now only a minor issue.

What has changed? I have updated and upgraded my brew packages and assume that SDL has been updated as well. However, I don't know how I could verify if that is the case.
