Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2002 13:53:37 +0200 From: "Mike Gorchak" <mike@malva.ua> Subject: Big QNX patch again. Added 8bit palette emulation code for window mode with bpp>=15. Added store/restore original palette for 8bit modes. Added more information about photon API call fails. Rewroten change palette code, slow but works. Fixed bug with set caption before window was inited. Fixed bugs with some initial state of variables. Fixed bug with storing old video mode settings. Fixed bug with switching to fullscreen mode and back. Fixed few double SEGFAULTS during parachute mode. Removed compilation warning with no PgWaitHWIdle prototype. Removed pack of dead unusable code. Cleanups SDL_PrivateVideoData structure, some headers. Some code formatting.

README by Mike Gorchak <mike@malva.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 artificially  selected  software
   renderer mode (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).
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.

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
