Date: Sat, 10 Apr 2004 02:25:33 -0400 From: Glenn Maynard To: sdl@libsdl.org Subject: [SDL] SDL_SetVideoMode() failing and not setting an error (patch) Running an OpenGL SDL application off 1.2.7, at SDL_InitSubSystem(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) time: Warning: Unable to initialize AAlib mouseUsing AAlib driver: Slang driver 1.0 (slang) SDL_SetVideoMode then fails; SDL_GetError() returns "". The installation problem is straightforward: X (the higher priority driver) isn't running, so SDL is falling back on aalib. However, no error is being set when aalib fails to initialize. This also happens with the svgalib driver. SDL_video.c line ~653 sets mode to NULL, since aalib didn't return an OpenGL surface. Line ~711 ("failed setting a video mode") returns NULL. The attached patch sets an error. It's a horrible, useless error message--it should really say eg. "aalib does not support OpenGL"; this should probably be done earlier in the individual drivers, too.

>This function takes two audio buffers of <TT

of the playing audio format and mixes them, performing addition, volume
adjustment, and overflow clipping. The <TT

from 0 to <TT

provided for convenience -- you can mix your own audio data.</P

>Note: </B
>Do not use this function for mixing together more than two streams of sample
data. The output from repeated application of this function may be distorted
by clipping, because there is no accumulator with greater range than the
input (not to mention this being an inefficient way of doing it).
Use mixing functions from SDL_mixer, OpenAL, or write your own mixer instead.</P
