Patch by me to fix crash described below. --ryan. To: sdl@libsdl.org From: Rainer Deyke <rainerd@eldwood.com> Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 01:08:18 -0600 Subject: [SDL] Bug report: SDL_CreateRGBSurface with SDL_HWSURFACE crashes If SDL is in full-screen mode with a hardware video surface on OS X, SDL_CreateRGBSurface with SDL_HWSURFACE crashes. The crash occurs on line 109 of SDL_Surface.c. This was tested on OS X 10.3.9 with both SDL 1.2.8 and the latest CVS. Here is a small C++ program that demonstrates the problem: #include "SDL.h" #include <stdio.h> namespace { void wait_for_key() { SDL_Event e; printf("%d\n", SDL_GetAppState()); while (SDL_WaitEvent(&e)) { if (e.type == SDL_KEYDOWN || e.type == SDL_QUIT) return; } } } int main(int, char *[]) { SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO); SDL_Surface *screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 32, SDL_FULLSCREEN | SDL_HWSURFACE); SDL_Surface *s = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_HWSURFACE, 640, 480, 32, screen->format->Rmask, screen->format->Gmask, screen->format->Bmask, screen->format->Amask); wait_for_key(); if (s) SDL_FreeSurface(s); SDL_Quit(); printf("Success!\n"); return 0; }

 ========================
  Using SDL with PicoGUI
 ========================

- Originally contributed by Micah Dowty <micahjd@users.sourceforge.net>

PicoGUI is a scalable GUI system with a unique architecture, primarily focused
on scalability to various embedded systems. You can find more information
including a FAQ at http://picogui.org

To use the patch:

  1. When compiling, add the "--enable-video-picogui" switch to ./configure

  2. When running your program, ensure that the picogui driver for SDL
     is in use by setting the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable 
     to "picogui".

  3. The program must also be linked to the C client library for PicoGUI
     (libpgui.so). If the program is being compiled with a patched SDL 
     installed this should be done automatically. If you want to use an
     existing binary with PicoGUI, you can set the LD_PRELOAD environment
     variable to the path of your libpgui.so file.

Capabilities:

  So far only basic functionality is provided on true color (linear16/24/32)
  devices. Accessing a memory mapped bitmap, updating the display, and handling
  mouse/keyboard input. This functionality has been tested with several
  applications, including mplayer, Xine, sldroids, and Abuse.

TODO list:

  - YUV overlays will be helpful for watching video on set top boxes or other
    embedded devices that have some graphics acceleration hardware

  - Account for rotated bitmap storage in pgserver

  - Support for hiding or changing the cursor

  - The display should be centered when the SDL application is smaller
    than the PicoGUI panel

  - Fullscreen or any other special modes

  - Support for indexed and grayscale modes

  - Probably much more...
