I updated SDL, and suddenly my SDL frames stopped working. They'd "initialize" full of gibberish, and I couldn't render anything to them. After a bit of digging, I found a problem: the renderer initialization routine in my SDL frame code wasn't getting called anymore.
procedure TSdlFrame.Paint;
begin
if SDL_SelectRenderer(FWindowID) = -1 then
CreateRenderer;
SDL_RenderPresent;
end;
function TSdlFrame.CreateRenderer: boolean;
const
pf: tagPIXELFORMATDESCRIPTOR = (nSize: sizeof(pf); nVersion: 1;
dwFlags: PFD_DRAW_TO_WINDOW or PFD_SUPPORT_OPENGL or PFD_DOUBLEBUFFER;
iPixelType: PFD_TYPE_RGBA; cColorBits: 24; cAlphaBits: 8;
iLayerType: PFD_MAIN_PLANE);
RENDERERS: array[TRendererType] of AnsiString = ('software', 'gdi', 'opengl', 'd3d');
var
pFormat: integer;
begin
if (SDL_SelectRenderer(FWindowID) = 0) then
begin
result := true;
Exit;
end;
if FRendererType = rtOpenGL then
begin
pFormat := ChoosePixelFormat(canvas.Handle, @pf);
if not SetPixelFormat(canvas.Handle, pFormat, @pf) then
outputDebugString(PChar(SysErrorMessage(GetLastError)));
if wglCreateContext(canvas.Handle) = 0 then
outputDebugString(PChar(SysErrorMessage(GetLastError)));
end;
if (SDL_CreateRenderer(FWindowID, SDL_RendererIndex(RENDERERS[FRendererType]), [sdlrPresentFlip3, sdlrAccelerated]) = 0) then
begin
SDL_ShowWindow(FWindowID);
assert(SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(0, 0, 0, 255) = 0);
FFlags := SDL_GetWindowFlags(FWindowID);
if assigned(FOnAvailable) then
FOnAvailable(self);
end
else outputDebugString(pChar(format('SDL_CreateRenderer failed: %s', [sdl_GetError])));
result := SDL_SelectRenderer(FWindowID) = 0;
end;
This is a critical issue. The Paint method gets called when the control receives a WM_PAINT message from Windows. I can't create the renderer before then, or it will fail and cause trouble. And when I do create it, it needs to be created with certain parameters. So imagine my surprise when I started debugging into the DLL and found that SDL_SelectRenderer was trying to be "helpful" by creating the renderer for me if it didn't already exist! Now not only does my initialization code not get called, I end up with the wrong renderer and so things don't render as expected when I try to use the window.

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 ============== As of this writing 20070810 you need to pull Mesa from git and do the following: ------------------------ cd mesa 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
