te: 27 Jun 2003 21:16:01 +0100 From: Alan Swanson Subject: [SDL] New XFree 4.3 Video Mode Patch The current patch to fix the issues with XFree 4.3 it is a bit of overkill to a simple problem. Default screen settings should be set in X, not selected by SDL with environment variables. Any program or user using non-standard or unset display modes get what they deserve :-) If you look at the unsorted list of modes returned by X, here's mine; 1280 x 1024 @ 85.0 > 1024 x 768 @ 100.3 > USER 800 x 600 @ 125.5 > SET 640 x 480 @ 124.9 > 1280 x 1024 @ 75.0 ] 1280 x 1024 @ 60.0 ] 1280 x 960 @ 85.0 ] X11 1280 x 960 @ 60.0 ] AUTO 1152 x 864 @ 75.0 ] 1152 x 768 @ 54.8 ] 960 x 720 @ 120.0 ] ... 640 x 400 @ 85.1 ] 256k 576 x 432 @ 150.0 ] 249k PIXEL 640 x 350 @ 85.1 ] 224k COUNT 576 x 384 @ 109.6 ] 221k ... The user set modes come first followed by X set modes which are ordered by decreasing number of pixels and refresh. The reason why every other library or program not using SDL was working is due to SDL scanning the modes in reverse getting X11 provided modes modes with the lowest refresh. The solution is to scan forward for the first user set mode or highest X mode. The qsort still keeps user set modes above higher refresh modes added by X. For the best match we still reverse search for the nearest larger size and then try to find a higher version of it.

README by Mike Gorchak <mike@malva.ua>, <lestat@i.com.ua>

    OpenGL in window mode  works well  and  stable, in fullscreen
mode too, but fullscreen mode has not been heavily tested.
    If you have QNX RtP 6.1.0 w/ or w/o Patch A you must download
new Photon3D runtime from http://developers.qnx.com. The versions
of OS before 6.1.0 are not supported.

Problems:
1. While  creating  OpenGL  context  software  renderer  mode  is
   artificially selected (QSSL made acceleration only for  Voodoo
   boards in fullscreen mode, sorry but I don't have  this board,
   if you want acceleration - you may remove some line  in source
   code).
2. Photon has some errors in detecting  how  much bits  per pixel
   videomode has.
3. No  shared  libraries  yet.  We  need  manually  set  flag  to
   'configure' --disable-shared.
4. Due to Photon API limitation, flag SDL_HWSURFACE supported on-
   ly in case of desktop bpp is equal requested bpp in window mo-
   de.

Some building issues:

    Run configure script without x11 support, e.g.:

    a) for OpenGL support:
    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local \
                --disable-video-x11 \
                --disable-shared

    b) without OpenGL support:
    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local \
                --disable-video-x11 \
                --disable-shared    \
                --disable-video-opengl

    In test directory  also run  ./configure  script  without x11
support, e.g.:

    ./configure  --with-sdl-prefix=/usr/local      \
                 --with-sdl-exec-prefix=/usr/local \
                 --prefix=/usr/local --without-x
