I've made so many changes I don't dare continue until I check the current stuff in. /test/testatomic.c performs absolutely basic tests to show that the function work as expected. Need a second test to do more detailed tests. /include/SDL_atomic.h provides declarations for all included functions. /src/atomic/linux/SDL_atomic.c provided all the functions. On a generic built the 64 bit functions work, but they are emulated. On a build for -march=pentium and above the 64 bit functions use native instructions /src/atomic/dummy/SDL_atomic.c emulates all the operations using SDL_mutex.h. /src/atomic/win32/SDL_atomic.c is a copy of dummy /src/atomic/macosx/SDL_atomic.s is a copy of dummy These versions of SDL_atomic.c provide a frame work for building the library with a mixture of native and emulated functions. This allows the whole library to be provided on all platforms. (I hope.) I hope this fits with the SDL philosophy of either providing a common subset or emulating when the platform is missing a feature. I have not added dummy, macosx, or win32 to the build. They are there as place holders for future work. I have modified congifure.in to compile sources in /src/atomic/linux. (The SDL configure.in file is an amazing piece of work and I hope I didn't mess it up. :-)

  =================================================================
  Patch version 0.9 of SDL(Simple DirectMedia Layer) for Nano-X API
  =================================================================
  
  Authors: Hsieh-Fu Tsai, clare@setabox.com
           Greg Haerr, greg@censoft.com

  This patch is against SDL version 1.2.4.
  It enhances previous patch 0.8 by providing direct framebuffer
  access as well as dynamic hardware pixel type support, not
  requiring a compile-time option setting for different framebuffer
  modes.
  Tested against Microwindows version 0.89pre9.

  Older Microwindows versions
  ===========================
  If running on a version older than Microwindows 0.89pre9,
  the following items might need to be patched in Microwindows.

  1. Patch src/nanox/client.c::GrClose()
  It fixes the client side GrClose(). In the original version, 
  GrOpen() can only be called once. When the GrOpen() is called at 
  the second time, the program will terminate. In order to prevent
  this situation, we need to insert "nxSocket = -1" after 
  "close(nxSocket)" in GrClose(). If you do not have this problem,
  you may skip this step. 

  2. Patch src/nanox/clientfb.c to return absolute x,y coordinates
  when using GrGetWindowFBInfo().  Copy the version 0.89pre9
  of src/nanox/clientfb.c to your system, or configure
  using --disable-nanox-direct-fb.

  =============
  Quick Install 
  =============

  1. ./configure --disable-video-x11 --disable-video-fbcon \ 
       --enable-video-nanox \ 
       --with-nanox-pixel-type=[rgb/0888/888/565/555/332/pal] 
  2. make clean 
  3. make 
  4. make install (as root) 

  ============
  Nitty-gritty 
  ============

  --enable-nanox-direct-fb       Use direct framebuffer access
  --enable-nanox-debug           Show debug messages 
  --enable-nanox-share-memory    Use shared-memory to speed up 

  When running multi-threaded applications using SDL, such
  as SMPEG, set THREADSAFE=Y in Microwindows' config file,
  to enable GrXXX() system call critical section support.

  =============================================
  Some programs can be used to test this patch.

  =========
  Todo List 
  =========

  1. Create hardware surface
  2. Create YUVOverlay on hardware
  3. Use OpenGL
  4. Gamma correction
  5. Hide/Change mouse pointer
  6. Better window movement control with direct fb access
  7. Palette handling in 8bpp could be improved
