Fixed bug #526
Comment #1 From Simon Howard 2009-03-20 16:50:56
Hi,
I'm the author of Chocolate Doom, one of the other source ports that James
mentioned. This is a patch against the current SVN version of SDL 1.2 that
fixes the bug. It has been tested and hopefully should be obviously correct
from examining the changes. I'll give a brief explanation.
When the palette is set with SDL_SetPalette, the IDirectDrawPalette_SetEntries
DirectX function is invoked. However, when this happens, a WM_PALETTECHANGED
message is sent to the window.
A WM_PALETTECHANGED message can also be received if the palette is changed for
some other reason, like if the system palette is changed. Therefore, the
palette change handler (DX5_PaletteChanged) has code to deal with this case.
It distinguishes "expected" palette changes (set with SDL_SetPalette) from
"unexpected" palette changes using the colorchange_expected variable, which is
set before calling IDirectDrawPalette_SetEntries. However, the code to set
this variable is missing in the fullscreen code path. By setting this
variable, the palette change is handled properly and the freezes go away.

| 10 .PP | |
| 11 \fBSDL_VideoModeOK\fP returns \fB0\fR if the requested mode is not supported under any bit depth, or returns the bits-per-pixel of the closest available mode with the given width, height and requested \fIsurface\fR flags (see \fI\fBSDL_SetVideoMode\fP\fR)\&. | |
| 12 .PP | |
| 13 The bits-per-pixel value returned is only a suggested mode\&. You can usually request and bpp you want when \fIsetting\fR the video mode and SDL will emulate that color depth with a shadow video surface\&. | |
