Fixed bug #526 Comment #1 From Simon Howard 2009-03-20 16:50:56 Hi, I'm the author of Chocolate Doom, one of the other source ports that James mentioned. This is a patch against the current SVN version of SDL 1.2 that fixes the bug. It has been tested and hopefully should be obviously correct from examining the changes. I'll give a brief explanation. When the palette is set with SDL_SetPalette, the IDirectDrawPalette_SetEntries DirectX function is invoked. However, when this happens, a WM_PALETTECHANGED message is sent to the window. A WM_PALETTECHANGED message can also be received if the palette is changed for some other reason, like if the system palette is changed. Therefore, the palette change handler (DX5_PaletteChanged) has code to deal with this case. It distinguishes "expected" palette changes (set with SDL_SetPalette) from "unexpected" palette changes using the colorchange_expected variable, which is set before calling IDirectDrawPalette_SetEntries. However, the code to set this variable is missing in the fullscreen code path. By setting this variable, the palette change is handled properly and the freezes go away.

>The system window manager event contains a pointer to system-specific 
information about unknown window manager events.  If you enable this event
using 
<A

><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_EventState()</TT
></A
>, 
it will be generated whenever unhandled events are received from the window 
manager.  This can be used, for example, to implement cut-and-paste in your 
application.

If you want to obtain system-specific information about the window manager,
you can fill the version member of a <SPAN
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>SDL_SysWMinfo</SPAN
> 
structure (details can be found in <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>SDL_syswm.h</TT
>, which must be included) using the <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_VERSION()</TT
> macro found in 
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>SDL_version.h</TT
>, and pass it to the 
function:
