Subject: [SDL][PATCH] 2 patches for sdl
Here are 2 patches for SDL:
- One is to put the dummy video drivers at the end of the
video drivers list. It gave me problems, when
SDL_VIDEODRIVER is not set, and the dummy driver is used
instead of the platform's driver, just because it is
always available. So the dummy driver must always be at
the end of the list. I suppose picogui and dc video
drivers also don't work.

It calls \fISDL_ConvertSurface\fR .PP If you want to take advantage of hardware colorkey or alpha blit acceleration, you should set the colorkey and alpha value before calling this function\&. .PP This function can be used to convert a colourkey to an alpha channel, if the \fBSDL_SRCCOLORKEY\fP flag is set on the surface\&. The generated surface will then be transparent (alpha=0) where the pixels match the colourkey, and opaque (alpha=255) elsewhere\&. .SH "RETURN VALUE" .PP If the conversion fails or runs out of memory, it returns \fBNULL\fR .SH "SEE ALSO" .PP \fISDL_ConvertSurface\fR, \fISDL_SetAlpha\fR, \fISDL_SetColorKey\fR, \fISDL_DisplayFormat\fR, \fISDL_Surface\fR ...\" created by instant / docbook-to-man, Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:01
