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]

==============================================================================
Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer with MacOS 7,8,9 on PPC
==============================================================================

These instructions are for people using the Apple MPW environment:
http://developer.apple.com/tools/mpw-tools/

CodeWarrior projects are available in the CWprojects directory.

==============================================================================
I.  Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries:
    (This step isn't necessary if you have the SDL binary distribution)

  First, unpack the MPWmake.sea.hqx archive and move SDL.make into the
  SDL directory.

  Start MPW

  Set the current directory within MPW to the SDL toplevel directory.

  Build "SDL"  (Type Command-B and enter "SDL" in the dialog)

  If everything compiles successfully, you now have the PPC libraries
  "SDL" and "SDLmain.o" in the 'lib' subdirectory.

==============================================================================
II. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer test programs:

  First, unpack the MPWmake.sea.hqx archive, move the new rsrc directory to
  the main SDL directory, and move the makefiles in the new test subdirectory
  to the SDL 'test' subdirectory.

  Start MPW

  Set the current directory within MPW to the SDL 'test' subdirectory.

  Build the programs that have an associated MPW makefile (file ending
  with .make), including "testwin", "testalpha", and "graywin".

  Copy the SDL library file into the test directory, and run!

==============================================================================
III. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer demo programs:

  Copy one of the test program Makefiles to the demo directory
  and modify it to match the sources in the demo.

==============================================================================
IV.  Enjoy! :)

  If you have a project you'd like me to know about, or want to ask questions,
  go ahead and join the SDL developer's mailing list by sending e-mail to:

	sdl-request@libsdl.org

  and put "subscribe" into the subject of the message. Or alternatively you
  can use the web interface:
