Date: Sat, 24 Aug 2002 22:20:01 -0600 From: "Greg Haerr" Subject: Announce: sdl-nanox-patch Sam, I've created an update patch for enhanced Nano-X support with SDL. I've created the patch against SDL-1.2.4. I'd appreciate it if you would apply it to the next SDL version. Enhancements include: 1. Small bugfixes to compile without errors 2. Support for direct client-side framebuffer access with configure option 3. Add dynamic pixel type support for hardware framebuffer; eliminating the need for compile-time configuration option. I've updated the README.NanoX file with the details. This version has been tested with Microwindows v0.89pre9 CVS and SMPEG 0.4.4. I've added multi-threading support to Microwindows to support the multi-threaded SMPEG, and all works fine. To turn on thread safety in Microwindows, use THREADSAFE=Y in the Microwindows config file. Thanks! Regards, Greg Founder, The Microwindows Project http://microwindows.org

README by Mike Gorchak <mike@malva.ua>, <lestat@i.com.ua>

    OpenGL in window mode  works well  and  stable, in fullscreen
mode too, but fullscreen mode has not been heavily tested.
    If you have QNX RtP 6.1.0 w/ or w/o Patch A you must download
new Photon3D runtime from http://developers.qnx.com. The versions
of OS before 6.1.0 are not supported.

Problems:
1. While  creating  OpenGL  context  software  renderer  mode  is
   artificially selected (QSSL made acceleration only for  Voodoo
   boards in fullscreen mode, sorry but I don't have  this board,
   if you want acceleration - you may remove some line  in source
   code).
2. Photon has some errors in detecting  how  much bits  per pixel
   videomode has.
3. No  shared  libraries  yet.  We  need  manually  set  flag  to
   'configure' --disable-shared.
4. Due to Photon API limitation, flag SDL_HWSURFACE supported on-
   ly in case of desktop bpp is equal requested bpp in window mo-
   de.

Some building issues:

    Run configure script without x11 support, e.g.:

    a) for OpenGL support:
    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local \
                --disable-video-x11 \
                --disable-shared

    b) without OpenGL support:
    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local \
                --disable-video-x11 \
                --disable-shared    \
                --disable-video-opengl

    In test directory  also run  ./configure  script  without x11
support, e.g.:

    ./configure  --with-sdl-prefix=/usr/local      \
                 --with-sdl-exec-prefix=/usr/local \
                 --prefix=/usr/local --without-x
