Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2006 11:41:04 -0500 From: "mystml@adinet.com.uy" Subject: [SDL] ALT-F4 using DirectX My game isn't getting SDL_QUIT when I press ALT-F4 using the DirectX driver; it does get SDL_QUIT when I press the red X in the window. I tracked this down to DX5_HandleMessage() in SDL_dx5events.c; WM_SYSKEYDOWN is being trapped and ignored which causes Windows not to post a WM_CLOSE, hence no SDL_QUIT is being generated. The relevant code is this : /* The keyboard is handled via DirectInput */ case WM_SYSKEYUP: case WM_SYSKEYDOWN: case WM_KEYUP: case WM_KEYDOWN: { /* Ignore windows keyboard messages */; } return(0); If I comment the WM_SYSKEYDOWN case, it falls through DefWindowProc() and ALT-F4 starts working again. I'm not sure about the best way to fix this. One option is handling ALT-F4 as a particular case somehow, but doesn't sound good. Another option would be to handle WM_SYSKEYDOWN separately and breaking instead of returning 0, so processing falls through and goes to DefWindowProc which does The Right Thing (TM). This seems to be the minimal change that makes ALT-F4 work and normal keyboard input continues to work. Does this sound reasonable? Am I overlooking anything? Do I submit a patch? --Gabriel

  =================================================================
  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
