te: Thu, 17 Apr 2003 11:25:26 -0700 From: "Jim" Subject: [SDL] Frame buffer patches... Would seem that GCC 3.2.2 promotes all signed values to unsigned if any single vlaue is unsigned in an expression... for instance when calculating an elo touch position....evertyhign is an (int) except for cach_vinfo.xres which is unsigned. THerefore if y ou reverse the SDL_ELO_MIN_X and SDL_ELO_MAX_X values the resulging negative value pegs the expression to it's max. Attached it the accumu lated patch to typecast the unsigned values to (int) - *dx = (cache_vinfo.xres - (cache_vinfo.xres * (input_x - ELO_MIN_X)) / width); + *dx = ((int)cache_vinfo.xres - ((int)cache_vinfo.xres * (input_x - ELO_MIN_X)) / width); and also to provide quite failure to operations which have the screen currently locked... The touch screen I'm using the original values were exactly opposite of any position I touched on the screen - evaluating the math the expr ession SHOULD have handled reversing the min and max values - and after casting the unsigned .xres and .yres to a signed int - worked well. ..

Project files for embedded Visual C++ 3.0, 4.0 and 
Visual Studio 2005 can be found in VisualCE.zip

SDL supports GAPI and WinDib output for Windows CE.

GAPI driver supports:

- all possible WinCE devices (Pocket PC, Smartphones, HPC)
  with different orientations of video memory and resolutions.
- 4, 8 and 16 bpp devices
- special handling of 8bpp on 8bpp devices
- VGA mode, you can even switch between VGA and GAPI in runtime
  (between 240x320 and 480x640 for example). On VGA devices you can
  use either GAPI or VGA.
- Landscape mode and automatic rotation of buttons and stylus coordinates.
  To enable landscape mode make width of video screen bigger than height.
  For example: 
    SDL_SetVideoMode(320,240,16,SDL_FULLSCREEN)
- WM2005
- SDL_ListModes

NOTE:
There are several SDL features not available in the WinCE port of SDL.

- DirectX is not yet available
- Semaphores are not available
- Joystick support is not available
- CD-ROM control is not available

In addition, there are several features that run in "degraded" mode:

Preprocessor Symbol		Effect
===================		=================================

SDL_systimer.c:
USE_GETTICKCOUNT		Less accurate values for SDL time functions
USE_SETTIMER			Use only a single marginally accurate timer

SDL_syswm.c:
DISABLE_ICON_SUPPORT		Can't set the runtime window icon

SDL_sysmouse.c:
USE_STATIC_CURSOR		Only the arrow cursor is available

SDL_sysevents.c:
NO_GETKEYBOARDSTATE		Can't get modifier state on keyboard focus

SDL_dibevents.c:
NO_GETKEYBOARDSTATE		Very limited keycode translation

SDL_dibvideo.c:
NO_GETDIBITS			Can't distinguish between 15 bpp and 16 bpp
NO_CHANGEDISPLAYSETTINGS	No fullscreen support
NO_GAMMA_SUPPORT		Gamma correction not available
