Subject: [SDL] BUG: changing video mode in opengl + windows
In WIN_GL_SetupWindow (SDL12/src/video/wincommon/SDL_wingl.c) you call
WIN_GL_ResetWindow when SetPixelFormat fails.
WIN_GL_ResetWindow cannot properly work in its current state, because there
are several things to update once you've created a new window. At least
DirectInput doesn't work anymore here (which is somewhat annoying for the
player :).
I think you can simply remove that function. Many games don't try to
recover from that exception, that's why the newest ATI drivers emulate 16
bpp display in 32 bpp mode so the error never occurs (but the games may run
much slower).
Having SDL_SetVideoMode return NULL would be better than actually setting
the video mode and losing focus, directinput and maybe directsound too. It
also made my previous drivers crash (when switching from 32 bpp windowed to
16 bpp fullscreen).

Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) Version 1.2 --- http://www.libsdl.org/ This is the Simple DirectMedia Layer, a general API that provides low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D framebuffer across multiple platforms. SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Java, Lua, ML, Objective C, Perl, PHP, Pike, Python, and Ruby. The current version supports Linux, Windows, BeOS, MacOS, MacOS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX. The code contains support for Windows CE, AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, NetBSD, AIX, OSF/Tru64, RISC OS, and SymbianOS, but these are not officially supported. This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be found in the file "COPYING". This license allows you to use SDL freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic library. The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory. The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date. More documentation is available in HTML format in "./docs/index.html" The test programs in the "test" subdirectory are in the public domain. Frequently asked questions are answered online: http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php If you need help with the library, or just want to discuss SDL related issues, you can join the developers mailing list: http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php Enjoy!
