ate: Fri, 09 Apr 2004 20:07:10 +0200 From: Hibernatus 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).

This is the porting of 1.2.0 version of SDL (the latest stable one)
to AmigaOS/68k.

All the bugs known of the past version have been corrected. And I've
added all the new SDL features.

This version of SDL needs Cybergraphx V3 (r69+) or CyberGraphX V4
and AHI v3+. Probably it works also with P96 or CGXAga, but it's 
untested.

This version is available as linked library for SAS/C and GCC, only 68k this 
time, a powerup (ppcemu compatible) and a morphos version will be ready quite 
soon (i hope).

Implemented:

- 8/16/24/32bit video modes, both fullscreen and windowed.
- Hardware surfaces.
- CGX blitting acceleration.
- CGX colorkey blitting acceleration.
- AHI audio (8/16 bit, with any audio format), always uses unit 0 for now.
- Thread support (maybe not 100% compatible with other implementations)
- Semaphores 
- Window resizing and backdrop windows (NEW)
- Joystick/Joypad support.

To do:

- CDRom audio playing support
- OpenGL (A guy was working on it but I've lost his tracks :( )

The SAS/C library is distributed with debug info attached, to strip debug info 
simply add STRIPDEBUG argument to the linker.

NOTE: SDL includes debug output using kprintf, to disable it add to your 
project a function like this:

void kprintf(char *a,...)
{
}

Otherwise you can redirect the debug to a console window with sushi, sashimi or
similar tools (the default output is the internal serial port).
