Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2003 15:05:31 -0800 From: "Jim" Subject: [SDL] Frame Buffer patches... Okay I'm new at patch generation - so please tell me if there's a better way I could have done this. Attached are two patch files generated with 'cvs diff -u' SDL-fb-open-lock.patch applies to SDL_fbvideo.c Modifies the open loop to check /dev/fb/0 found on devfs... Modifies the lock code to return failure if the current virtual terminal is not the one opened for frame buffer writing... Lock would hang forever if switched away (ctrl-alt-F1) ... SDL-fb-mousedrv-screensave.patch applies to SDL_fbevents.c Switches default mouse mode based on SDL_MOUSEDRV - currently only accepts PS2 - otherwise default is MS Mouse. When the screen is switched - exisiting code (wrapped in ifdef SAVE_SCREEN_COTENTS) would save the wrong bit of the screen.... ( I run frame buffer 1600x1200, the size I requested was 800x600 - the save would save the top 800 lines (non biased) and restore them... Adding screen->offset fixed that ) However, if that option is not set, then a call to SDL_UpdateRect (full screen) is made. (which may have had it's contents changed since the screen is not entirely locked because of lock-failure patch) Jim [patches slightly tweaked for SDL 1.2.10]

                         Simple DirectMedia Layer

                                  (SDL)

                                Version 1.2

This is the Simple DirectMedia Layer, a general API that provides low
level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL,
and 2D framebuffer across multiple platforms.

SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to
several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Java, Lua, ML,
Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Pike, Python, and Ruby.

The current version supports Linux, Windows, BeOS, MacOS, MacOS X,
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX.  The code contains
support for Windows CE, AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, NetBSD, AIX, OSF/Tru64,
RISC OS, SymbianOS, and OS/2, but these are not officially supported.

This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be
found in the file  "COPYING".  This license allows you to use SDL
freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic
library.

The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in
the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory.
The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date.
More documentation is available in HTML format in "./docs/index.html"

The test programs in the "test" subdirectory are in the public domain.

Frequently asked questions are answered online:
