Fuse SDL full screen with no picture / blank screen on Raspbian

OK, so slightly out of sync with the whole Pi-Spectrum mash up build log, but I've been spending a little time playing with the software.

When using the Raspbian Wheezy image with the SDL version (read command-line version) of the Fuse spectrum emulator, it would not go full screen over HDMI.   I'd be left with a plain black screen, yet I could hear the emulator running through the speakers.

I noticed that the Fuse-SDL that comes as part of Retropie doesn't suffer this problem.   Since Retropie is based on Raspbian I assumed it was down to emulator config.

For a number of reasons, I don't particularly want to use Retropie - preferring to manage the emulators myself and omit the EmulationStation front end, for now at least.

Anyway, the long and short of it is that it seems the SDL version included with the Raspbian image has a bug in it (this bug is not present in Retropie), and a helpful soul has recompiled it with this bug fixed.

Upon installing the deb packages, I got a couple of errors regarding dependencies, but the FUSE emulator now works beautifully, full screen, over HDMI or composite.

Just thought this tip might prove useful to you guys who are equally as nooby at Linux as I am...
