Date: Tue, 9 May 2006 23:01:49 -0400 From: Mike Frysinger Subject: [SDL] [patch] fall back to using MAP_PRIVATE with mmap() in fbcon dri trying to use MAP_SHARED with mmap() on uClinux (aka non-mmu) hosts nowadays will simply fail since the kernel disallows it ... falling back to using MAP_PRIVATE on these hosts is acceptable ... as such, ive attached a patch for the fbcon driver that will fall back to using MAP_PRIVATE if mmap() with MAP_SHARED failed going by a grep of MAP_SHARED, the only other drivers that utilize this flag are video/wscons, video/ps2gs, and sound/dmaaudio ... i dont think these would appear on a non-mmu host so the patch i wrote is restricted to just SDL_fbvideo.c ... -mike

To compile and install SDL:

    1.  Run './configure; make; make install'

        If you are compiling for Windows using gcc, read the FAQ at:
        http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php?action=listentries&category=4#42

        If you are compiling using Visual C++ on Win32, you should read
        the file VisualC.html

    2.  Look at the example programs in ./test, and check out the HTML
        documentation in ./docs to see how to use the SDL library.

    3.  Join the SDL developer mailing list by sending E-mail to
    	sdl-request@libsdl.org
        and put "subscribe" in the subject of the message.

        Or alternatively you can use the web interface:
            http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php

That's it!
