Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2004 19:25:37 +0300 From: Dmitry Yakimov Subject: [SDL] [PATCH] SDL bug patch Let me introduce 2 fixes to SDL. 1. Preventing great slowdown on fast machines while hardware flipping (it's obviously bug). 2. Setting up 85 Hz of monitor if supported. The reason is that Win98 by default sets lowest frequency 60 Hz. And we can't set up maximum frequency because some users can have wrong monitor drivers. This is important for shareware and commercial programs.

Wish list for the 1.3 development branch:

 * Use /etc/fb.modes, if available, like GGI does
 * Add mousewheel events (new unified event architecture?)
 * DirectInput joystick support needs to be implemented
 * Be able to enumerate and select available audio and video drivers
 * Fullscreen video mode support for MacOS X
 * Explicit vertical retrace wait (maybe separate from SDL_Flip?)
 * Shaped windows, windows without borders
 * Multiple windows, multiple display support
 * SDL_INIT_EVENTTHREAD on Windows and MacOS?
 * Add a timestamp to events
 * Use RDTSC for timer resolution on x86 hardware
 * Add audio input API
 * Add hardware accelerated scaled blit
 * Add hardware accelerated alpha blits
 * Redesign blitting architecture to allow blit plugins

In the jump from 1.2 to 1.3, we should change the SDL_Rect members to
int and evaluate all the rest of the datatypes.  This is the only place
we should do it though, since the 1.2 series should not break binary
compatibility in this way.

Requests:
 * PCM and CDROM volume control (deprecated, but possible)
