[SDL] [PATCH] fix FB_VideoQuit for ia64 Jesse Barnes Fri Jan 14 11:13:54 PST 2005 I noticed that on my ia64 machine when SDL_Quit was called, the machine would hang in weird ways. It turned out to be caused by a machine check in the memset() call near the top of FB_VideoQuit. Generally memset shouldn't be used on I/O regions like the framebuffer or other I/O device memory (the Linux kernel has special routines for dealing with I/O memory), so I changed the #ifdef __powerpc__ to #if defined(__powerpc__) || defined(__ia64__) and SDL_Quit now works properly. The change should probably be made unconditional though since doing one byte at a time is the only way to be portable, afaik.

The reason these libraries are built outside of the standard XFree86
tree is so that they can be linked as shared object code directly into
SDL without causing any symbol collisions with code in the application.

You can't link static library code into shared libraries on non-x86
Linux platforms.  Since these libraries haven't become standard yet,
we'll just include them directly.

These sources are synchronized with XFree86 4.2.1
