Fixed bug #1026 Vittorio Giovara 2010-07-16 19:09:28 PDT i was reading SDL_renderer_gles and i noticed that every time we there is some gl call the gl state is modified with a couple of glEnableClientState()/glDisableClientState. While this is completely fine for desktops systems, this is a major performace kill on mobile devices, right where opengles is implemented. Normal practice in this case is to update the glstate once, keep it always the same and disable/enable other states only in very special occasions. On the web there's plenty of documentation (on the top of my head http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/3DDrawing/Conceptual/OpenGLES_ProgrammingGuide/Performance/Performance.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008793-CH105-SW5 ) and i personally tried this. I modified my code and got a 10 fps boost, then modified SDL_render_gles and shifted from 40 fps to 50 fps alone -- considering that i started from ~30fps i got an 80% performance increase with this technique. I have attached a dif of my changes, hope that it will be included in mainstream.

SDL 1.3 with open pandora console support ( http://openpandora.org/ )
=====================================================================

- A pandora specific video driver was writed to allow SDL 1.3 with OpenGL ES
support to work on the pandora under the framebuffer. This driver do not have
input support for now, so if you use it you will have to add your own control code.
The video driver name is "pandora" so if you have problem running it from
the framebuffer, try to set the following variable before starting your application :
"export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=pandora"

- OpenGL ES support was added to the x11 driver, so it's working like the normal
x11 driver one with OpenGLX support, with SDL input event's etc..
