Subject: [SDL] Minor X11 hack:
Here's a patch to center a newly-created, non-fullscreen X11 window.
While this may or may not be suitable for adding to SDL officially, I
didn't want to put any Xlib dependencies in my code directly.
To use:
- Apply patch/rebuild.
- export SDL_WINDOW_POS=center
- Call SDL_SetVideoMode as needed.
(Ideally, this could be expanded to handle other commands like
SDL_WINDOW_POS=20x190, etc, and could be implemented for other targets,
but this is really a hack to avoid API changes).

| 11 .PP | |
| 12 \fBSDL_SemTryWait\fP is a non-blocking varient of \fI\fBSDL_SemWait\fP\fR\&. If the value of the semaphore pointed to by \fBsem\fR is positive it will atomically decrement the semaphore value and return 0, otherwise it will return \fBSDL_MUTEX_TIMEOUT\fR instead of suspending the thread\&. | |
| 13 .PP | |
| 14 After \fBSDL_SemTryWait\fP is successful, the semaphore can be released and its count atomically incremented by a successful call to \fISDL_SemPost\fR\&. | |
| 15 .SH "RETURN VALUE" | |
| 16 .PP | |
| 17 Returns \fB0\fR if the semaphore was successfully locked or either \fBSDL_MUTEX_TIMEOUT\fR or \fB-1\fR if the thread would have suspended or there was an error, respectivly\&. | |
| 18 .PP | |
| 19 If the semaphore was not successfully locked, the semaphore will be unchanged\&. | |
