Couriersud fixed bug #603 Using the following sequence SDL_Init(..:) SDL_CreateWindow(..., SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL) SDL_DestroyWindow SDL_CreateWindow(..., SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL) SDL will crash in X11_GL_GetVisual. This is due to the fact that during SDL_DestroyWindow X11_GL_Shutdown was called because the last window has been closed. On the next call to SDL_CreateWindow the library is still loaded and only the memory is reinitialized. Function pointers such as gl_data->glXChooseVisual will not be reinitialized. Consequently, SDL will crash due to a NULL pointer access. The attached patch corrects the behaviour.

SDL on DirectFB

Supports:

- Hardware YUV overlays
- OpenGL - software only
- 2D/3D accelerations (depends on directfb driver)

What you need:

DirectFB 1.0.0 - required
Kernel-Framebuffer support: required: vesafb, radeonfb .... 
Mesa 7.0.x	   - optional for OpenGL

As of this writing 20070810 you need to pull Mesa from git and do the following:

------------------------
cd mesa 
make linux-directfb
make

echo Installing - pleaser enter sudo pw.

sudo make install INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/dfb_GL
cd src/mesa/drivers/directfb
make
sudo make install INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/dfb_GL
------------------------

To run the SDL - testprograms:

export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directfb
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/dfb_GL/lib
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/dfb_GL/libGL.so.7

./testgl

To use hardware accelerated YUV-overlays for YUV-textures, use:

export SDL_DIRECTFB_YUV_DIRECT=1

This is disabled by default. It will only support one concurrent 
overlay and may behave strange if not used with SDL_CreateYUvOverlay
from SDLcompat.c.
