From: "Mike Gorchak"
Subject: Batch of the QNX6 fixes for the SDL
1. Updated readme.QNX
2. Fixed crashes during intensive window updating under fast machines (got over 200 rectangles for update).
3. Fixed double-buffered fullscreen modes, now it works as needed.
4. Fixed Photon detection algorithm.
5. Fixed HWSURFACE update function.
6. Added SDL_PHOTON_FULLSCREEN_REFRESH environment variable support for control refresh rates under Photon.
7. Added 640x400 fullscreen mode emulation via 640x480 (if videodriver not supports original 640x400 mode of course) shifted by 40 vertical pixels from begin, to center it. It's needed for some old DOS games which ran in doubled 320x200 mode.
8. Added available video ram amount support.
8. Added hardware surface allocation/deallocation support if current videomode and videodriver supports it.
9. Added hardware filling support.
10. Added hardware blits support (simple and colorkeyed).
And I've added to testvidinfo test color-keyed blits benchmark (maybe need to add alpha blits benchmark too ?). Currently Photon not supporting any alpha hardware blittings (all drivers lack of alpha blitting code support, only software alpha blitting exist in photon, which is hundreds times slowest than the SDL's one). So I've not added the alpha support. I suppose new QNX 6.3 will have the hardware alpha support, so when it will be done, I'll add alpha support.

27 Normally, if a video surface of the requested bits-per-pixel (\fBbpp\fR) is not available, SDL will emulate one with a shadow surface\&. Passing \fBSDL_ANYFORMAT\fP prevents this and causes SDL to use the video surface, regardless of its pixel depth\&. |

33 Enable hardware double buffering; only valid with SDL_HWSURFACE\&. Calling \fI\fBSDL_Flip\fP\fR will flip the buffers and update the screen\&. All drawing will take place on the surface that is not displayed at the moment\&. If double buffering could not be enabled then \fBSDL_Flip\fP will just perform a \fI\fBSDL_UpdateRect\fP\fR on the entire screen\&. |

36 SDL will attempt to use a fullscreen mode\&. If a hardware resolution change is not possible (for whatever reason), the next higher resolution will be used and the display window centered on a black background\&. |

42 Create an OpenGL rendering context, like above, but allow normal blitting operations\&. The screen (2D) surface may have an alpha channel, and \fI\fBSDL_UpdateRects\fP\fR must be used for updating changes to the screen surface\&. |
| 0 | 43 .TP 20 |
| 44 \fBSDL_RESIZABLE\fP | |
| 45 Create a resizable window\&. When the window is resized by the user a \fI\fBSDL_VIDEORESIZE\fP\fR event is generated and \fBSDL_SetVideoMode\fP can be called again with the new size\&. | |
| 46 .TP 20 | |
| 47 \fBSDL_NOFRAME\fP | |
| 48 If possible, \fBSDL_NOFRAME\fP causes SDL to create a window with no title bar or frame decoration\&. Fullscreen modes automatically have this flag set\&. | |

59 The \fBbpp\fR parameter is the number of bits per pixel, so a \fBbpp\fR of 24 uses the packed representation of 3 bytes/pixel\&. For the more common 4 bytes/pixel mode, use a \fBbpp\fR of 32\&. Somewhat oddly, both 15 and 16 will request a 2 bytes/pixel mode, but different pixel formats\&. |
