Subject: Re: [SDL] SDL 1.2.8 Prerelease
I'm sending small fix for BeOS, which prevents filling up SDL's message
queue too fast.
Without it, SDL receives "key down" messages from BeOS code, for each key
repeat (BeOS handles key repeats itself, and application can check if
received "key down" message from BeOS is first time key down, or if it's
repeat, and which repeat it is). Since there is no way for "sdl driver" to
turn off "default" SDL's key-repeat mechanism, they were working both at
the same time (and queue could be filled up very fast).
So this patch removes handling "key down" message from BeOS if it's
key_repeat "type".

======================== Using SDL with PicoGUI ======================== - Originally contributed by Micah Dowty <micahjd@users.sourceforge.net> PicoGUI is a scalable GUI system with a unique architecture, primarily focused on scalability to various embedded systems. You can find more information including a FAQ at http://picogui.org To use the patch: 1. When compiling, add the "--enable-video-picogui" switch to ./configure 2. When running your program, ensure that the picogui driver for SDL is in use by setting the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable to "picogui". 3. The program must also be linked to the C client library for PicoGUI (libpgui.so). If the program is being compiled with a patched SDL installed this should be done automatically. If you want to use an existing binary with PicoGUI, you can set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to the path of your libpgui.so file. Capabilities: So far only basic functionality is provided on true color (linear16/24/32) devices. Accessing a memory mapped bitmap, updating the display, and handling mouse/keyboard input. This functionality has been tested with several applications, including mplayer, Xine, sldroids, and Abuse. TODO list: - YUV overlays will be helpful for watching video on set top boxes or other embedded devices that have some graphics acceleration hardware - Account for rotated bitmap storage in pgserver - Support for hiding or changing the cursor - The display should be centered when the SDL application is smaller than the PicoGUI panel - Fullscreen or any other special modes - Support for indexed and grayscale modes - Probably much more... --- The End ---
