Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2005 02:01:51 +0000 (UTC) From: jimrandomh Subject: [SDL] Re: Modifier keys pressed during initialization stick I wrote a simple test program which initializes SDL, prints the SDL version number, then prints any keydown and keyup events with their modifiers. (Source code below). Compilation was done using Visual Studio 6, release mode. My test sequence was: Start a command prompt. Type the name of the test program. shift down enter down (program starts) Wait for window to appear enter up shift up spacebar down spacebar up Under Windows 98, the output was correct: SDL 1.2.8 left shift down shift-return down shift-return up left shift up space down space up Under Windows 2000 and under Windows XP, the output was: SDL 1.2.8 shift-space down shift-space up Since shift was not held at the time space was pressed, this is incorrect. Similar results were observed with launching in different ways (including double-clicking in Windows Explorer), so it does not depend on the launching terminal.

 ========================
  Using SDL with PicoGUI
 ========================

- Originally contributed by Micah Dowty <micahjd@users.sourceforge.net>

PicoGUI is a scalable GUI system with a unique architecture, primarily focused
on scalability to various embedded systems. You can find more information
including a FAQ at http://picogui.org

To use the patch:

  1. When compiling, add the "--enable-video-picogui" switch to ./configure

  2. When running your program, ensure that the picogui driver for SDL
     is in use by setting the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable 
     to "picogui".

  3. The program must also be linked to the C client library for PicoGUI
     (libpgui.so). If the program is being compiled with a patched SDL 
     installed this should be done automatically. If you want to use an
     existing binary with PicoGUI, you can set the LD_PRELOAD environment
     variable to the path of your libpgui.so file.

Capabilities:

  So far only basic functionality is provided on true color (linear16/24/32)
  devices. Accessing a memory mapped bitmap, updating the display, and handling
  mouse/keyboard input. This functionality has been tested with several
  applications, including mplayer, Xine, sldroids, and Abuse.

TODO list:

  - YUV overlays will be helpful for watching video on set top boxes or other
    embedded devices that have some graphics acceleration hardware

  - Account for rotated bitmap storage in pgserver

  - Support for hiding or changing the cursor

  - The display should be centered when the SDL application is smaller
    than the PicoGUI panel

  - Fullscreen or any other special modes

  - Support for indexed and grayscale modes

  - Probably much more...
