Fixed so many things. See the changelog listed below. 1. Use SDL_X11_HAVE_XRENDER to check for RENDER at runtime. 2. Added lots of comments. 3. Added checks and lots of calls to SDL_SetError(). 4. Fixed X11_CreateTexture() so that the pixmap and image created are for the format specified by the user and not the window format. This is only for the RENDER case. 5. The above change required that functions to convert SDL pixel format enums to Visuals and XRenderPictFormats be added. 6. Fixed lots of 'style' issues.

SDL on Sony Playstation3
------------------------

Installation:
  First, you have to install the Cell SDK
  - Download the Cell SDK installer RPM and ISO images to
    a temporary directory such as /tmp/cellsdk.
  - Mount the image: mount -o loop CellSDK-Devel-Fedora_3.1.0.0.0.iso /tmp/cellsdk
  - Install the SDK installer: rpm -ivh cell-install-3.1.0-0.0.noarch.rpm
  - Install the SDK: cd /opt/cell && ./cellsdk --iso /tmp/cellsdkiso install

  You'll than need to install the SPU-libs
  - Run make ps3-libs && make ps3libs-install

  Finally, install SDL
  - Go to SDL-1.2/ and build SDL like any other GNU style package.
  e.g.
    - Build the configure-script with ./autogen.sh
    - Configure SDL for your needs: ./configure --enable-video-ps3 ...
    - Build and install it: make && make install


Todo:
  - Mouse & Keyboard support
  - On SPU-side the current scaler and converter restrictions are:
    - resolution has to be a multiple of 8 (will work on that)
    - scaler/converter only supports the YV12 and IYUV format
    - the scaler works only bilinear (lanzos would be nice)
  - Optimize the SPU-program handling on the PPE side
  - Integrate spumedia in SDL

Have fun!
