Fixed bug #849 some more: Tim Angus 2009-11-26 14:41:04 PST Fix to the cursor not being responsive when the app doesn't have SDL_APPINPUTFOCUS The problems with the directx driver are similar to the ones I introduced in the windib driver with r4478. Basically if the application did not have focus, the mouse position is not updated. It's not really that the mouse cursor was invisible, it's that it is stuck underneath another window where you can't see it. This behaviour predates my r4478 changes and is the reason I unwittingly broke the windib driver as I had been replicating the way the directx driver deals with focus. Prior to r4478 the directx driver could not be used in windowed mode, so the broken focusing would not have actually been observable. Anyway, the attached patch makes the directx driver behaves like the windib driver in terms of focus. Time for 1.2.15? ;) I've added an additional change of moving the calls to WIN_GrabInput that are made on WM_ACTIVATE messages so that they only occur when the state is SDL_APPINPUTFOCUS. When a fullscreen application is minimised using alt-tab, it still receives WM_ACTIVATE messages when other applications are selected. If WIN_GrabInput is called when the SDL application doesn't have input focus, bad things happen; it shouldn't be being called at all. I've also added a line to make sure that SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS state is dropped when the application is minimised following an alt-tab.

  =================================================================
  Patch version 0.9 of SDL(Simple DirectMedia Layer) for Nano-X API
  =================================================================
  
  Authors: Hsieh-Fu Tsai, clare@setabox.com
           Greg Haerr, greg@censoft.com

  This patch is against SDL version 1.2.4.
  It enhances previous patch 0.8 by providing direct framebuffer
  access as well as dynamic hardware pixel type support, not
  requiring a compile-time option setting for different framebuffer
  modes.
  Tested against Microwindows version 0.89pre9.

  Older Microwindows versions
  ===========================
  If running on a version older than Microwindows 0.89pre9,
  the following items might need to be patched in Microwindows.

  1. Patch src/nanox/client.c::GrClose()
  It fixes the client side GrClose(). In the original version, 
  GrOpen() can only be called once. When the GrOpen() is called at 
  the second time, the program will terminate. In order to prevent
  this situation, we need to insert "nxSocket = -1" after 
  "close(nxSocket)" in GrClose(). If you do not have this problem,
  you may skip this step. 

  2. Patch src/nanox/clientfb.c to return absolute x,y coordinates
  when using GrGetWindowFBInfo().  Copy the version 0.89pre9
  of src/nanox/clientfb.c to your system, or configure
  using --disable-nanox-direct-fb.

  =============
  Quick Install 
  =============

  1. ./configure --disable-video-x11 --disable-video-fbcon \ 
       --enable-video-nanox \ 
       --with-nanox-pixel-type=[rgb/0888/888/565/555/332/pal] 
  2. make clean 
  3. make 
  4. make install (as root) 

  ============
  Nitty-gritty 
  ============

  --enable-nanox-direct-fb       Use direct framebuffer access
  --enable-nanox-debug           Show debug messages 
  --enable-nanox-share-memory    Use shared-memory to speed up 

  When running multi-threaded applications using SDL, such
  as SMPEG, set THREADSAFE=Y in Microwindows' config file,
  to enable GrXXX() system call critical section support.

  =============================================
  Some programs can be used to test this patch.

  Todo List 
  =========

  1. Create hardware surface
  2. Create YUVOverlay on hardware
  3. Use OpenGL
  4. Gamma correction
  5. Hide/Change mouse pointer
  6. Better window movement control with direct fb access
  7. Palette handling in 8bpp could be improved
