Overlay functions are being replaced by YUV textures. If the driver doesn't support YUV textures, they can be emulated by backing the texture with an RGB texture and using the software conversion routines. Note that it doesn't make sense to lock a portion of a YV12 texture, since you'd need to return three pixel pointers and pitch values instead of the one that's available through the API. I'm guessing that's one of the reasons DirectX 9 doesn't support this format at all.

SDL supports GAPI and WinDib output for Windows CE.

GAPI driver supports:

- all possible WinCE devices (Pocket PC, Smartphones, HPC)
  with different orientations of video memory and resolutions.
- 4, 8 and 16 bpp devices
- special handling of 8bpp on 8bpp devices
- VGA mode, you can even switch between VGA and GAPI in runtime
  (between 240x320 and 480x640 for example). On VGA devices you can
  use either GAPI or VGA.
- Landscape mode and automatic rotation of buttons and stylus coordinates.
  To enable landscape mode make width of video screen bigger than height.
  For example: 
    SDL_SetVideoMode(320,240,16,SDL_FULLSCREEN)
- WM2005
- SDL_ListModes

NOTE:
There are several SDL features not available in the WinCE port of SDL.

- DirectX is not yet available
- Semaphores are not available
- Joystick support is not available
- CD-ROM control is not available

In addition, there are several features that run in "degraded" mode:

SDL_sysmouse.c:
USE_STATIC_CURSOR		Only the arrow cursor is available

SDL_sysevents.c:
NO_GETKEYBOARDSTATE		Can't get modifier state on keyboard focus

SDL_dibevents.c:
NO_GETKEYBOARDSTATE		Very limited keycode translation

SDL_dibvideo.c:
