Hi, I have prepared a set of patches to readd WindowsCE support to SDL 1.3. I've created a new GAPI/Rawframebuffer and a DirectDraw renderer. Both renderers are work in progress and there are several unimplemented cases. (Notably RenderLine/RenderPoint/RenderFill/QueryTexturePixels/UpdateTexture and texture blending ) Nevertheless I am successfully using these renderers together with the SDL software renderer. (On most devices the SDL software renderer will be much faster as there are only badly optimized vendor drivers available) I send these patches now in this unpolished state because there seems to be some interest in win ce and someone has to start supporting SDL 1.3 Now on to the patches: wince_events_window_fixes.patch fixes some wince incompatibilities and adds fullscreen support via SHFullScreen. NOTE: This patch shouldn't have any side effects on Windows, but I have NOT tested it on Windows, so please double-check. This patch doesn't dependent on the following ones. wince_renderers_system.patch This patch does all necessary modifications to the SDL system. - it adds the renderers to the configure system - it adds the renderers to win32video SDL_ceddrawrender.c SDL_ceddrawrender.h SDL_gapirender_c.h SDL_gapirender.c SDL_gapirender.h these files add the new render drivers and should be placed in src/video/win32 Some notes to people who want to test this: - I have only compiled sdl with ming32ce, so the VisualC files are not up to date - As mingw32ce has no ddraw.h this file must be taken from the MS SDK and modified to work with gcc - I had to modify line 2611 in configure.in to EXTRA_LDFLAGS="$EXTRA_LDFLAGS -lcoredll -lcommctrl -lmmtimer -Wl,--image-base -Wl,0x10000" otherwise GetCPinfo wouldn't link. If someone knows whats causing this I'd be happy to hear about it. It would be great if these patches could make their way into SVN as this would make collaboration much much easier. I'm out of office for the next week and therefore will be unavailable via email. Regards Stefan

SDL supports GAPI and WinDib output for Windows CE.

GAPI driver supports:

- all possible WinCE devices (Pocket PC, Smartphones, HPC)
  with different orientations of video memory and resolutions.
- 4, 8 and 16 bpp devices
- special handling of 8bpp on 8bpp devices
- VGA mode, you can even switch between VGA and GAPI in runtime
  (between 240x320 and 480x640 for example). On VGA devices you can
  use either GAPI or VGA.
- Landscape mode and automatic rotation of buttons and stylus coordinates.
  To enable landscape mode make width of video screen bigger than height.
  For example: 
    SDL_SetVideoMode(320,240,16,SDL_FULLSCREEN)
- WM2005
- SDL_ListModes

NOTE:
There are several SDL features not available in the WinCE port of SDL.

- DirectX is not yet available
- Semaphores are not available
- Joystick support is not available
- CD-ROM control is not available

In addition, there are several features that run in "degraded" mode:

Preprocessor Symbol		Effect
===================		=================================

SDL_systimer.c:
USE_GETTICKCOUNT		Less accurate values for SDL time functions
USE_SETTIMER			Use only a single marginally accurate timer

SDL_syswm.c:
DISABLE_ICON_SUPPORT		Can't set the runtime window icon

SDL_sysmouse.c:
USE_STATIC_CURSOR		Only the arrow cursor is available

SDL_sysevents.c:
NO_GETKEYBOARDSTATE		Can't get modifier state on keyboard focus

SDL_dibevents.c:
NO_GETKEYBOARDSTATE		Very limited keycode translation

SDL_dibvideo.c:
NO_GETDIBITS			Can't distinguish between 15 bpp and 16 bpp
NO_CHANGEDISPLAYSETTINGS	No fullscreen support
NO_GAMMA_SUPPORT		Gamma correction not available
