Florian Forster to sdl
in SDL 1.3 (revision 5508 from SVN), the method used to calculate the
bits per pixel from a “int format” differ between “SDL_ListModes” (which
always uses the “SDL_BITSPERPIXEL” macro) and “SDL_PixelFormatEnumTo-
Masks” (which uses either “SDL_BITSPERPIXEL” or “SDL_BYTESPERPIXEL * 8”,
depending on the value of “SDL_BYTESPERPIXEL”).
Because the values are later compared in “SDL_ListModes” this may lead
to some valid video modes not being returned. In my case the only mode
returned by “SDL_GetNumDisplayModes” was dismissed and NULL was
returned. (This led to the calling application sticking its head in the
sand.)
The attached patch copies the method used within “SDL_PixelFormatEnumTo-
Masks” to “SDL_ListModes”. This solved the problem for me though I don't
fully understand the method used by “SDL_PixelFormatEnumToMasks”.

SDL on DirectFB Supports: - Hardware YUV overlays - OpenGL - software only - 2D/3D accelerations (depends on directfb driver) - multiple displays - windows What you need: DirectFB 1.0.1, 1.2.x, 1.3.0 Kernel-Framebuffer support: required: vesafb, radeonfb .... Mesa 7.0.x - optional for OpenGL /etc/directfbrc This file should contain the following lines to make your joystick work and avoid crashes: ------------------------ disable-module=joystick disable-module=cle266 disable-module=cyber5k no-linux-input-grab ------------------------ To disable to use x11 backend when DISPLAY variable is found use export SDL_DIRECTFB_X11_CHECK=0 To disable the use of linux input devices, i.e. multimice/multikeyboard support, use export SDL_DIRECTFB_LINUX_INPUT=0 To use hardware accelerated YUV-overlays for YUV-textures, use: export SDL_DIRECTFB_YUV_DIRECT=1 This is disabled by default. It will only support one YUV texture, namely the first. Every other YUV texture will be rendered in software. In addition, you may use (directfb-1.2.x) export SDL_DIRECTFB_YUV_UNDERLAY=1 to make the YUV texture an underlay. This will make the cursor to be shown. Simple Window Manager ===================== The driver has support for a very, very basic window manager you may want to use when runnning with "wm=default". Use export SDL_DIRECTFB_WM=1 to enable basic window borders. In order to have the window title rendered, you need to have the following font installed: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf OPENGL Support ============== The following instructions will give you *software* opengl. However this works at least on all directfb supported platforms. As of this writing 20100802 you need to pull Mesa from git and do the following: ------------------------ git checkout 2c9fdaf7292423c157fc79b5ce43f0f199dd753a cd mesa git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa ------------------------ Edit configs/linux-directfb so that the Directories-section looks like ------------------------ # Directories SRC_DIRS = mesa glu GLU_DIRS = sgi DRIVER_DIRS = directfb PROGRAM_DIRS = ------------------------ make linux-directfb make echo Installing - please enter sudo pw. sudo make install INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/dfb_GL cd src/mesa/drivers/directfb make sudo make install INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/dfb_GL ------------------------ To run the SDL - testprograms: export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directfb export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/dfb_GL/lib export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/dfb_GL/libGL.so.7 ./testgl
