Hans de Goede fixed bug #495 When running boswars: http://www.boswars.org/ on a machine with intel integrathed graphics it crashes when it tries to play the initial theora splashscreen video: X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 140 (XVideo) Minor opcode of failed request: 19 () Serial number of failed request: 25 Current serial number in output stream: 26 boswars: xcb_xlib.c:41: xcb_xlib_lock: Assertion `!c->xlib.lock' failed. Aborted I recognized this problem from a few years back, when I encountered it while working on the Xv blitter for xmame. The problem is that for some reason creation the Xvport and XvImage succeeds, and failure (lack of resources / hw capability?) is only indicated during the first XvPut[Shm]Image. I've written a patch for SDL using the work around for this I developed for xmame (and which is still used successfully in xmame after many years of usage). I'll admit it isn't very pretty, but after investigating several possibilities this was the best option, any other fixes would need changes to the SDL api and abi.

>8-bit pixel formats are the easiest to understand. Since its an 8-bit format, we have 8 <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>BitsPerPixel</I
></TT
> and 1 <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>BytesPerPixel</I
></TT
>. Since <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>BytesPerPixel</I
></TT
> is 1, all pixels are represented by a Uint8 which contains an index into <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>palette</I
></TT
>-&#62;<TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>colors</I
></TT
>. So, to determine the color of a pixel in a 8-bit surface: we read the color index from <SPAN
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>surface</SPAN
>-&#62;<TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>pixels</I
></TT
> and we use that index to read the <A
HREF="sdlcolor.html"
><SPAN
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>SDL_Color</SPAN
></A
> structure from <SPAN
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>surface</SPAN

CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"

>Pixel formats above 8-bit are an entirely different experience. They are
considered to be "TrueColor" formats and the color information is stored in the
pixels themselves, not in a palette. The mask, shift and loss fields tell us
how the color information is encoded. The mask fields allow us to isolate each
color component, the shift fields tell us the number of bits to the right of
each component in the pixel value and the loss fields tell us the number of
bits lost from each component when packing 8-bit color component in a pixel.
