I think there is potentially a slightly different cause of the above problem. During the introduction of the Altivec code, the blit_table struct field 'alpha' got changed from a straightforward enum to a bitmask, which makes perfect sense by itself. However, now the table driven blitter selection code in SDL_CalculateBlitN() can choose the wrong blitters when searching for a NO_ALPHA blitter because of the following code: int a_need = 0; ... (a_need & table[which].alpha) == a_need && When searching through the normal_blit_2[] table, a SET_ALPHA blitter (like Blit_RGB565_ARGB8888) can now be selected instead of a NO_ALPHA one, causing alpha channel bits to appear in a non-alpha destination surface. I suppose this could theoretically be an indirect cause of the segfault mentioned above. I *think* this can be fixed by changing to int a_need = NO_ALPHA;

.SH "NAME"
SDL_JoystickGetAxis\- Get the current state of an axis
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBSint16 \fBSDL_JoystickGetAxis\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Joystick *joystick, int axis\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_JoystickGetAxis\fP returns the current state of the given \fBaxis\fR on the given \fBjoystick\fR\&.
.PP
On most modern joysticks the X axis is usually represented by \fBaxis\fR 0 and the Y axis by \fBaxis\fR 1\&. The value returned by \fBSDL_JoystickGetAxis\fP is a signed integer (-32768 to 32768) representing the current position of the \fBaxis\fR, it maybe necessary to impose certain tolerances on these values to account for jitter\&. It is worth noting that some joysticks use axes 2 and 3 for extra buttons\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns a 16-bit signed integer representing the current position of the \fBaxis\fR\&.
