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.

.TH "SDL_SemWaitTimeout" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:00" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" 
.SH "NAME"
SDL_SemWaitTimeout\- Lock a semaphore, but only wait up to a specified maximum time\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
#include "SDL_thread\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_SemWaitTimeout\fP\fR(\fBSDL_sem *sem, Uint32 timeout\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_SemWaitTimeout()\fP is a varient of \fISDL_SemWait\fR with a maximum timeout value\&. If the value of the semaphore pointed to by \fBsem\fR is positive (greater than zero) it will atomically decrement the semaphore value and return 0, otherwise it will wait up to \fBtimeout\fR milliseconds trying to lock the semaphore\&. This function is to be avoided if possible since on some platforms it is implemented by polling the semaphore every millisecond in a busy loop\&.
.PP
After \fBSDL_SemWaitTimeout()\fP is successful, the semaphore can be released and its count atomically incremented by a successful call to \fISDL_SemPost\fR\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
Returns \fB0\fR if the semaphore was successfully locked or either \fBSDL_MUTEX_TIMEOUT\fR or \fB-1\fR if the timeout period was exceeded or there was an error, respectivly\&.
.PP
If the semaphore was not successfully locked, the semaphore will be unchanged\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
