I am running Ubuntu 12.04 (GL version 1.4 Mesa 8.0.4) , and on drawing a set of lines through the renderer through SDL_RenderDrawLines() (looped or not) or SDL_RenderDrawRect() I notice a pixel missing. For RenderDrawLines() it seems to be the second point in the sequence; for RenderDrawRect() it is the lower-right. This can be fixed by specifying SDL_RenderDrawPoint(s), but wouldn't it be easier to specify each pixel in a GL_POINTS glBegin/End loop in the OpenGL code, just to make sure?
I also ran the same program on Android; the rendering seemed to be correct, which uses glDrawArrays.

Overview:
SDL_RenderClear is only clearing part of a texture when it is the render target and a different size than the screen.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) This only occurs with the render driver set to direct3d, so: SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_RENDER_DRIVER,"direct3d")
Also, my window was 1280x720.
2) Create a texture for a render target with a resolution of 1024x1024:
texture=SDL_CreateTexture(main_window.renderer,SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGBA8888,SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_TARGET,1024,1024);
SDL_SetTextureBlendMode(texture,SDL_BLENDMODE_BLEND);
3) Target the texture for rendering: SDL_SetRenderTarget(main_window.renderer,texture);
4) Set the draw color to whatever you want (problem occurs with both 0,0,0,0 and 0,0,0,255 among others) and then clear the render target:
SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(main_window.renderer,0,0,0,0);
SDL_RenderClear(main_window.renderer);
Actual Results:
Only about the top 3/4s of the texture gets cleared on calling SDL_RenderClear. The bottom 1/4 or so does not clear.
Expected Results:
Entire render target should be cleared.

Brief history:
We recently ported a game from SDL 1.2 to SDL 2. While doing Windows testing, I soon discovered that the game exits without opening a window with my cross-compiled SDL2.dll, but works great with the SDL2.dll from the MinGW SDK on libsdl.org. It was as simple as swapping out the DLLs to make it work.
Running the game in Wine showed that the game actually does run, up until the call to SDL_CreateWindow, which fails and leads the game to print out an error:
Failure to create window (LoadLibrary("OPENGL32.DLL"): (null))
Which basically says that there was no error, but maybe that's a Wine quirk.
The error string originates in SDL_windowsopengl.c, in WIN_GL_LoadLibrary, which contains this piece of code:
wpath = WIN_UTF8ToString(path);
_this->gl_config.dll_handle = LoadLibrary(wpath);
SDL_free(wpath);
if (!_this->gl_config.dll_handle) {
char message[1024];
SDL_snprintf(message, SDL_arraysize(message), "LoadLibrary(\"%s\")",
path);
return WIN_SetError(message);
}
After some digging, I discovered the culprit: WIN_UTF8ToString returns NULL. Why? Because it calls iconv_open from an iconv.dll that does not support the UCS-2-INTERNAL encoding. Why does the official SDL2.dll work? Because it calls no external iconv functions at all.
It turns out that the Fedora MinGW infrastructure (from which I obtained the conventiently prebuilt iconv.dll) does not provide a DLL from libiconv, but instead provides a DLL from a minimal Windows library called win-iconv. Which knows a good bit, but doesn't know anything about UCS-2-INTERNAL:
http://code.google.com/p/win-iconv/source/browse/trunk/win_iconv.c#155
So there are two problems here:
1) The error message is clearly useless, because LoadLibrary is an innocent bystander. Instead wpath should probably checked for NULL, and a more appropriate error should be set. Ideally something that makes it clear than an external iconv is causing trouble.
2) SDL doomed itself at the ./configure step, by finding an existing iconv and happily using it without confirming support for the mandatory encodings required by SDL.
There are certainly a few easy ways out of the situation (although I didn't yet manage to figure out how to prevent ./configure from looking for external iconv), but this had me completely stomped for a good while, so I figured it's worth writing down if anything.
(Search also found this, which talks a little about using UTF-16LE instead of UCS-2-INTERNAL: https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2075)

SDL_dxjoystick.c is setting the classguid for device (dis)connect events to USB Devices in general:
dbh.dbcc_classguid = GUID_DEVINTERFACE_USB_DEVICE;
Wouldn't it make more sense to have it just subscribe to Hid device events? This would mean less meaningless events reaching the application.

Revision c47ae79f0de8 of the SDL hg repo introduces the new
SDL_GetSystemRAM() function, which breaks the build on FreeBSD. Find
attached a patch, which unbreaks the build and also should (for most
cases) properly implement the sysctl support it.

As discussed (possibly to death), the Linux joystick driver does not actually report events for added or removed joysticks when you haven't got udev support.
We simply cannot know about removed joysticks without udev. But we can (and we should) report adding them. This brings the legacy case in line with pretty much the rest of SDL's joystick drivers.
This reverts http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/7cdeb64faa72 and fixes it in
the correct way. If you call SDL_SetWindowPosition on a fullscreen
window, it would update the x & y variables for the window, but not
actually move the window (since it was fullscreen). That would make the
internal state of the SDL_Window incorrect, causing
SDL_WarpMouseInWindow to offset incorrectly.
This makes it so SDL_SetWindowPosition updates the `windowed' x & y
coordinates, which take effect when you revert from fullscreen.
