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

                         Simple DirectMedia Layer

                                  (SDL)

                                Version 1.2

This is the Simple DirectMedia Layer, a general API that provides low
level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL,
and 2D framebuffer across multiple platforms.

The current version supports Linux, Windows, Windows CE, BeOS, MacOS,
Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX.
The code contains support for AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, AIX, OSF/Tru64,
RISC OS, SymbianOS, and OS/2, but these are not officially supported.

SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to
several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Erlang, Euphoria,
Guile, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Lua, ML, Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP,
Pike, Pliant, Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk.

This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be
found in the file  "COPYING".  This license allows you to use SDL
freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic
library.

The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in
the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory.
The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date.
More documentation is available in HTML format in "docs/index.html", and
a documentation wiki is available online at:
	http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi

The test programs in the "test" subdirectory are in the public domain.

Frequently asked questions are answered online:
	http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php
