Fixed bug #89
Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2005 16:39:03 +0200
From: "A. Schmid" <sahib@phreaker.net>
Subject: [SDL] no software surfaces with svgalib driver?
Hi,
I noticed that the SDL (1.2.9) svgalib driver only makes use of linear
addressable (framebuffer) video modes. On older systems (like one of
mine), linear addressable modes are often not available.
Especially for cards with VESA VBE < 2.0 the svgalib vesa driver is
unusable, since VESA only supports framebuffering for VBE 2.0 and later.
The changes necessary to add support for software surfaces seem to be
relatively small. I only had to hack src/video/svga/SDL_svgavideo.c (see
attached patch). The code worked fine for me, but it is no more than a
proof of concept and should be reviewed (probably has a memory leak when
switching modes). It also uses the vgagl library (included in the
svgalib package) and needs to be linked against it.
-Alex

| 2 All: | |
| 3 Audio rate conversion is only implemented by multiplying or dividing | |
| 4 by a power of two. This is a side-effect of the requirement that the | |
| 5 raw audio buffer size be a power of two, and can hopefully be fixed. | |
| 6 This means 8 KHz audio converted to 22 KHz ends up being 16 KHz. :-/ | |
| 7 | |
| 8 When the implementation is writing directly to video memory the mouse | |
| 9 cursor doesn't work properly. Applications which do this should use | |
| 10 their own mouse cursor and call SDL_ShowCursor(0) to hide the system | |
| 11 cursor. | |
| 12 | |
| 13 Linux: | |
| 14 Wide UNICODE character input (Kanji, etc.) is not yet supported. | |
| 15 It requires handling of keyboard mapping events and using the XIM | |
| 16 input translation extension. I will implement it as requested. | |
| 17 Latin-1 keyboard input works fine. | |

| 24 Win32: | |
| 25 The MCI driver can't tell if the CD-ROM drive is paused or stopped. | |
| 26 | |
| 27 The SDL_INIT_EVENTTHREAD flag is not supported on Win32 | |
| 28 (Idea: create a separate DirectInput polling thread) | |
| 29 The main purpose of this flag is for smooth cursor motion in | |
| 30 fullscreen environments. | |
| 31 | |
| 32 Wide UNICODE character input (Kanji, etc.) is not yet supported. | |
| 33 This requires the ToUnicode() API which is only implemented on | |

| 44 Does anyone know how to do this? SDL_WM_GrabInput() is designed | |

| 57 isn't implemented and mixer routines may not call malloc() or free() | |
| 58 because they are called at interrupt time. | |
