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\&. |

30 Give SDL exclusive palette access\&. Without this flag you may not always get the the colors you request with \fI\fBSDL_SetColors\fP\fR or \fI\fBSDL_SetPalette\fP\fR\&. |

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\&. |
| 0 | 37 .TP 20 |
| 38 \fBSDL_OPENGL\fP | |
| 39 Create an OpenGL rendering context\&. You should have previously set OpenGL video attributes with \fI\fBSDL_GL_SetAttribute\fP\fR\&. | |

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\&. |
