I have also renamed *TEXTUREBLENDMODE* constants to BLENDMODE*. The unix build compiles. The windows renderer still needs to be updated, but I have no windows development machine at hand. Have a look at the x11 renderer for a sample. Vector games now run at 90% both on opengl and directfb in comparison to sdlmame's own opengl renderer. The same applies to raster games. The diff also includes a) Changed XDrawRect to XFillRect in x11 renderer b) A number of changes to fix blending and modulation issues in the directfb renderer.

.SH "NAME"
SDL_CreateSemaphore \- Creates a new semaphore and assigns an initial value to it\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
#include "SDL_thread\&.h"
.sp
\fBSDL_sem *\fBSDL_CreateSemaphore\fP\fR(\fBUint32 initial_value\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_CreateSemaphore()\fP creates a new semaphore and initializes it with the value \fBinitial_value\fR\&. Each locking operation on the semaphore by \fISDL_SemWait\fR, \fISDL_SemTryWait\fR or \fISDL_SemWaitTimeout\fR will atomically decrement the semaphore value\&. The locking operation will be blocked if the semaphore value is not positive (greater than zero)\&. Each unlock operation by \fISDL_SemPost\fR will atomically increment the semaphore value\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns a pointer to an initialized semaphore or \fBNULL\fR if there was an error\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
.PP
.nf
\f(CWSDL_sem *my_sem;

my_sem = SDL_CreateSemaphore(INITIAL_SEM_VALUE);

if (my_sem == NULL) {
        return CREATE_SEM_FAILED;
