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.

.SH "NAME"
SDL_JoystickGetAxis \- Get the current state of an axis
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBSint16 \fBSDL_JoystickGetAxis\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Joystick *joystick, int axis\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_JoystickGetAxis\fP returns the current state of the given \fBaxis\fR on the given \fBjoystick\fR\&.
.PP
On most modern joysticks the X axis is usually represented by \fBaxis\fR 0 and the Y axis by \fBaxis\fR 1\&. The value returned by \fBSDL_JoystickGetAxis\fP is a signed integer (-32768 to 32768) representing the current position of the \fBaxis\fR, it maybe necessary to impose certain tolerances on these values to account for jitter\&. It is worth noting that some joysticks use axes 2 and 3 for extra buttons\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns a 16-bit signed integer representing the current position of the \fBaxis\fR\&.
