24 Enables the use of asynchronous updates of the display surface\&. This will usually slow down blitting on single CPU machines, but may provide a speed increase on SMP systems\&.

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\&.

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\&.
