------- Comment #1 From Max Horn 2006-04-17 03:08 [reply] ------- Created an attachment (id=106) [edit] Patch for src/joystick/win32/SDL_mmjoystick.c I am not even a Windows user, so take the following with a grain of salt: SDL_mmjoystick.c has a function GetJoystickName which obtains the joystick name by looking at the registry. The way it does that seems very fishy to me. Namely, it uses the parameter "index" to construct a registry value name (BTW, those variables used in the code are really badly named). The value of "index" in turn equals the current value of "numdevs", as called from SDL_SYS_JoystickInit. I read through the MSDN docs at <http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/dnarinput/html/msdn_extdirect.asp>, and I believe the simple fix is to replace line 183 of said file SYS_JoystickName[numdevs] = GetJoystickName(numdevs, joycaps.szRegKey); by the following: SYS_JoystickName[numdevs] = GetJoystickName(SYS_JoystickID[i], joycaps.szRegKey); However, that is only *hiding* the real issue. Problem is, the list of joysticks as returned by windows may contains "gaps", and the code deals incorrectly with that. Namely those gaps occur if joysticks are removed/(re)added, as the reporter observed. The attached patch fixes this and another (off-by-one) issue in the code. But since I have no Windows machine, I can't even test-compile it, so use with caution.

.TH "SDL_LockSurface" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:01" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" 
.SH "NAME"
SDL_LockSurface\- Lock a surface for directly access\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_LockSurface\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *surface\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_LockSurface\fP sets up a surface for directly accessing the pixels\&. Between calls to \fBSDL_LockSurface\fP and \fBSDL_UnlockSurface\fP, you can write to and read from \fBsurface->\fBpixels\fR\fR, using the pixel format stored in \fBsurface->\fBformat\fR\fR\&. Once you are done accessing the surface, you should use \fBSDL_UnlockSurface\fP to release it\&.
.PP
Not all surfaces require locking\&. If \fBSDL_MUSTLOCK\fP(\fBsurface\fR) evaluates to \fB0\fR, then you can read and write to the surface at any time, and the pixel format of the surface will not change\&. 
.PP
No operating system or library calls should be made between lock/unlock pairs, as critical system locks may be held during this time\&.
.PP
It should be noted, that since SDL 1\&.1\&.8 surface locks are recursive\&. This means that you can lock a surface multiple times, but each lock must have a match unlock\&. 
.PP

    /* Surface is locked */

    /* More direct pixel access on surface */

    SDL_UnlockSurface( surface );
    /* Surface is still locked */

.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
\fBSDL_LockSurface\fP returns \fB0\fR, or \fB-1\fR if the surface couldn\&'t be locked\&.
