Date: Sun, 3 Aug 2003 22:07:57 +0200 From: Max Horn Subject: SDL OSX fullscreen FIX the attached patch fixes the fullscreen problems on SDL/OSX. The cause was that click events are bounded by winRect. Now, winRect is set to the size of the video surface. But if you e.g. request a 640x420 surface, you might get a 640x480 "real" surface. Still, SDL_VideoSurface->h will be set to 420! Thus, the upper 60 pixels in my example received no mouse down events. My fix simply disables this clipping when in full screen mode - after all, all clicks then should be inside the screen surface. Higher SDL functions ensure that the coordinates then are clipped to 640x420. It works fine in all my tests here. I don't know if it's the right thing to do in multi screen scenarios, though.

 ========================
  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...
