Fixed bug #89

Subject: [SDL] no software surfaces with svgalib driver?
Hi,
I noticed that the SDL (1.2.9) svgalib driver only makes use of linear
addressable (framebuffer) video modes. On older systems (like one of
mine), linear addressable modes are often not available.
Especially for cards with VESA VBE < 2.0 the svgalib vesa driver is
unusable, since VESA only supports framebuffering for VBE 2.0 and later.
The changes necessary to add support for software surfaces seem to be
relatively small. I only had to hack src/video/svga/SDL_svgavideo.c (see
attached patch). The code worked fine for me, but it is no more than a
proof of concept and should be reviewed (probably has a memory leak when
switching modes). It also uses the vgagl library (included in the
svgalib package) and needs to be linked against it.

This is the porting of 1.2.0 version of SDL (the latest stable one) to AmigaOS/68k. All the bugs known of the past version have been corrected. And I've added all the new SDL features. This version of SDL needs Cybergraphx V3 (r69+) or CyberGraphX V4 and AHI v3+. Probably it works also with P96 or CGXAga, but it's untested. This version is available as linked library for SAS/C and GCC, only 68k this time, a powerup (ppcemu compatible) and a morphos version will be ready quite soon (i hope). Implemented: - 8/16/24/32bit video modes, both fullscreen and windowed. - Hardware surfaces. - CGX blitting acceleration. - CGX colorkey blitting acceleration. - AHI audio (8/16 bit, with any audio format), always uses unit 0 for now. - Thread support (maybe not 100% compatible with other implementations) - Semaphores - Window resizing and backdrop windows (NEW) - Joystick/Joypad support. To do: - CDRom audio playing support - OpenGL (A guy was working on it but I've lost his tracks :( ) The SAS/C library is distributed with debug info attached, to strip debug info simply add STRIPDEBUG argument to the linker. NOTE: SDL includes debug output using kprintf, to disable it add to your project a function like this: void kprintf(char *a,...) { } Otherwise you can redirect the debug to a console window with sushi, sashimi or similar tools (the default output is the internal serial port). For info, support, bugfix and other feel free to mail me: Gabriele Greco (gabriele.greco@aruba.it) You can find also a small SDL Amiga page at: http://ggreco.interfree.it/sdl.html
