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.

.TP 20
\fBformat\fR
Overlay format (see below)
.TP 20
\fBw, h\fR
Width and height of overlay
.TP 20
\fBplanes\fR
Number of planes in the overlay\&. Usually either 1 or 3
.TP 20
\fBpitches\fR
An array of pitches, one for each plane\&. Pitch is the length of a row in bytes\&.
.TP 20
\fBpixels\fR
An array of pointers to teh data of each plane\&. The overlay should be locked before these pointers are used\&.
.TP 20
\fBhw_overlay\fR
This will be set to 1 if the overlay is hardware accelerated\&.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
A \fBSDL_Overlay\fR is similar to a \fI\fBSDL_Surface\fR\fR except it stores a YUV overlay\&. All the fields are read only, except for \fBpixels\fR which should be \fIlocked\fR before use\&. The \fBformat\fR field stores the format of the overlay which is one of the following:
