From Bug #36: There are a couple of issues with the selection of Altivec alpha-blitting routines in CalculateAlphaBlit() in src/video/SDL_Blit_A.c. 1) There's no check for the presence of Altivec when checking if the Blit32to565PixelAlphaAltivec() routine can be selected. 2) Altivec cannot be used in video memory, and there's no check if the destination surface is a hardware surface. (Alpha-blitting to a hardware surface with GPU support is a bad idea, but somebody's bound to do it anyway.) Patch to fix these attached.

.TH "SDL_Flip" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:01" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" 
.SH "NAME"
SDL_Flip\- Swaps screen buffers
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_Flip\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *screen\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
On hardware that supports double-buffering, this function sets up a flip and returns\&. The hardware will wait for vertical retrace, and then swap video buffers before the next video surface blit or lock will return\&. On hardware that doesn\&'t support double-buffering, this is equivalent to calling \fISDL_UpdateRect\fR\fB(screen, 0, 0, 0, 0)\fR
.PP
The \fBSDL_DOUBLEBUF\fP flag must have been passed to \fISDL_SetVideoMode\fR, when setting the video mode for this function to perform hardware flipping\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
This function returns \fB0\fR if successful, or \fB-1\fR if there was an error\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.PP
\fI\fBSDL_SetVideoMode\fP\fR, \fI\fBSDL_UpdateRect\fP\fR, \fI\fBSDL_Surface\fR\fR
