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.

.PP
\fBSDL_ResizeEvent\fR is a member of the \fI\fBSDL_Event\fR\fR union and is used when an event of type \fBSDL_VIDEORESIZE\fP is reported\&.
.PP
When \fBSDL_RESIZABLE\fP is passed as a \fBflag\fR to \fI\fBSDL_SetVideoMode\fP\fR the user is allowed to resize the applications window\&. When the window is resized an \fBSDL_VIDEORESIZE\fP is report, with the new window width and height values stored in \fBw\fR and \fBh\fR, respectively\&. When an \fBSDL_VIDEORESIZE\fP is received the window should be resized to the new dimensions using \fI\fBSDL_SetVideoMode\fP\fR\&.
