Catch X11 extension errors...since most of these are notifications that we queried for a missing extension (such as the XiG vidmode one that most people don't have), and default Xlib behaviour is to write notification to stderr, this tends to generate incorrect bug reports. Since we'll actually deal with the missing extension when querying for it, we ignore these errors in our hook. The rest continue to pass through to the default handler. Fixes Bugzilla #42. --ryan.

.SH "NAME"
SDL_PumpEvents\- Pumps the event loop, gathering events from the input devices\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

\fBvoid \fBSDL_PumpEvents\fP\fR(\fBvoid\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Pumps the event loop, gathering events from the input devices\&.
.PP
\fBSDL_PumpEvents\fP gathers all the pending input information from devices and places it on the event queue\&. Without calls to \fBSDL_PumpEvents\fP no events would ever be placed on the queue\&. Often calls the need for \fBSDL_PumpEvents\fP is hidden from the user since \fI\fBSDL_PollEvent\fP\fR and \fI\fBSDL_WaitEvent\fP\fR implicitly call \fBSDL_PumpEvents\fP\&. However, if you are not polling or waiting for events (e\&.g\&. your filtering them), then you must call \fBSDL_PumpEvents\fP to force an event queue update\&.

\fBNote:

You can only call this function in the thread that set the video mode\&.
