Date: Sat, 06 Dec 2008 15:27:00 +0100 From: Couriersud Subject: SDL: Relative mouse movements The patch below will reenable processing of relative mouse movements. The DirectFB drivers generates those in "grabbed" mode. These ensure, that even in fullscreen mode relative movements are reported. SDLMAME depends on this for games with trackballs. Looking at the code I ask myself whether relative movements should be handled in the drivers (x11, directfb). Both x11 and directfb are able to report relative movements. This would leave it to the driver to use the most appropriate method for relative movements when at the border of a fullscreen window or being "grabbed".

SDL on DirectFB

Supports:

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

What you need:

DirectFB 1.0.1, 1.2.x, 1.3.0
Kernel-Framebuffer support: required: vesafb, radeonfb .... 
Mesa 7.0.x	   - optional for OpenGL

/etc/directfbrc

This file should contain the following lines to make
your joystick work and avoid crashes:
------------------------
disable-module=joystick
disable-module=linux_input
disable-module=cle266
disable-module=cyber5k
disable-module=x11input
------------------------

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 
YUV texture, namely the first. Every other YUV texture will be
rendered in software.

In addition, you may use (directfb-1.2.x)

export SDL_DIRECTFB_YUV_UNDERLAY=1

to make the YUV texture an underlay. This will make the cursor to
be shown.

OPENGL Support
==============

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

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

echo Installing - please 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
