Fixed bug #89 Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2005 16:39:03 +0200 From: "A. Schmid" <sahib@phreaker.net> 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. -Alex

.TH "SDL_SetGammaRamp" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:01" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" 
.SH "NAME"
SDL_SetGammaRamp\- Sets the color gamma lookup tables for the display
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_SetGammaRamp\fP\fR(\fBUint16 *redtable, Uint16 *greentable, Uint16 *bluetable\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Sets the gamma lookup tables for the display for each color component\&. Each table is an array of 256 Uint16 values, representing a mapping between the input and output for that channel\&. The input is the index into the array, and the output is the 16-bit gamma value at that index, scaled to the output color precision\&. You may pass NULL to any of the channels to leave them unchanged\&.
.PP
This function adjusts the gamma based on lookup tables, you can also have the gamma calculated based on a "gamma function" parameter with \fISDL_SetGamma\fR\&.
.PP
Not all display hardware is able to change gamma\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns -1 on error (or if gamma adjustment is not supported)\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.PP
