Subject: [SDL] [patch] fall back to using MAP_PRIVATE with mmap() in fbcon dri
trying to use MAP_SHARED with mmap() on uClinux (aka non-mmu) hosts nowadays
will simply fail since the kernel disallows it ... falling back to using
MAP_PRIVATE on these hosts is acceptable ... as such, ive attached a patch
for the fbcon driver that will fall back to using MAP_PRIVATE if mmap() with
MAP_SHARED failed
going by a grep of MAP_SHARED, the only other drivers that utilize this flag
are video/wscons, video/ps2gs, and sound/dmaaudio ... i dont think these
would appear on a non-mmu host so the patch i wrote is restricted to just
SDL_fbvideo.c ...

Currently there are two Classic-only drivers defined in "SDL_config_macos.h",
and the ones in "SDL_config_macosx.h" are Mach-O/framework-only (i.e. not CFM)
As a workaround, I disabled CDROM and JOYSTICK when building SDL for CFM
Carbon.
The AltiVec blitters don't compile, since they require __VEC__ to be enabled in
order for the compiler to understand "vector" and friends (i.e. do AltiVec)
But you don't want to turn AltiVec on globally, since then the code would only
run on a G4 (there are already runtime tests, before using the AltiVec
variants)
The solution here is to enable AltiVec locally, for the actual AltiVec code.
If SDL_OpenAudio() is passed zero for the desired format
fields, the following environment variables will be used
to fill them in:
SDL_AUDIO_FREQUENCY
SDL_AUDIO_FORMAT
SDL_AUDIO_CHANNELS
SDL_AUDIO_SAMPLES
If an environment variable is not specified, it will be set
to a reasonable default value.

As for all the Carbon warnings.. the two File Manager ones should be
easy to get rid of, the QuickDraw ones won't be so easy since that
requires actual refactoring.

Subject: SDL trunk (r2346) and Mac OS X
The current state of the trunk doesn't quite compile on Mac OS X,
I've attached a series of patches that gets it to compile and kills a
few warnings.
sdl-trunk-r2346-dlcompat-warnings.diff:
The dlcompat thing is just loaded with incorrect type signatures ..
some of them have changed since 10.2 and others are just flat wrong.
This puts it in sync with the latest headers. People on 10.2 will get
the warnings instead of people with new kits.
If your mouse cursor is not within the SDL frame and you warp the mouse, you
get an enter notify, not a motion notify.
Therefore, SDL does not update its internal mouse state.
What's about calling SDL_PrivateMouseMotion even when getting an EnterNotify?

Here's a patch for SDL_fbevents.c that makes SDL fbcon recognize both left Alt
and right Alt (altgr). Without this, it's impossible to write a lot of
characters on a standard fi-latin1 mapped keyboard, like "@£${[]}\|~".

Subject: [SDL] [patch] fix building with DirectFB-0.9.25.1
another DirectFB release, another small bit of API breakage :)
this time around, DIKI_ALTGR has been removed and DIKI_ALT_R is supposed to be
used ... DIKI_ALT_R is not a new define, so there shouldnt be any need for
checking the DirectFB version ... it should work with older DirectFB's as
well
thanks to Sascha Schwarz for pointing this out on the Gentoo bugzilla:

Improved GPM mouse protocol detection.
The original patch had a bunch of bugs, so I completely rewrote it to hopefully fix them, and to support more protocols.
The attached files allow building the SDL library and tests with the Open
Watcom compiler for Windows:
- static library or DLL
- Debug or Release builds available
- uses register calling convention of Open Watcom
- wmake target to build the SDL test samples
Following is a table that shows what works and what doesn't, yet:
checkkeys +
graywin +
loopwave +
testalpha +
testbitmap +
testdyngl +
testerror +
testfile +
testgamma +
testgl +
testhread +
testiconv - (all failed)
testkeys +
testlock + (after removing calls to raise() from signal handler)
testoverlay + (needs 'set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directx')
testoverlay2 + (-"-)
testpalette +
testplatform +
testsem +
testsprite +
testtimer +
testver +
testvidinfo +
testwin - (fading doesn't seem right)
testwm +
torturethread +
testcdrom +
testjoystick not tested
threadwin +
TODO:
- make stack calling convention work (has linking issues with dxguid.lib)
- perform testjoystick (I don't have a joystick)
- investigate fading in testwin
- merge with OS/2 port
- add DOS target
The current SVN trunk is missing the SDLCALL specifier at numerous locations.
It has to be added for all (possibly user provided) callbacks.
I stumbled over this while creating a makefile for the OpenWatcom compiler for
Win32.

Subject: [SDL] New XFree 4.3 Video Mode Patch
If you look at the unsorted list of modes returned by X, here's mine;
1280 x 1024 @ 85.0 >
1024 x 768 @ 100.3 > USER
800 x 600 @ 125.5 > SET
640 x 480 @ 124.9 >
1280 x 1024 @ 75.0 ]
1280 x 1024 @ 60.0 ]
1280 x 960 @ 85.0 ] X11
1280 x 960 @ 60.0 ] AUTO
1152 x 864 @ 75.0 ]=20
1152 x 768 @ 54.8 ]
960 x 720 @ 120.0 ]
...
640 x 400 @ 85.1 ] 256k
576 x 432 @ 150.0 ] 249k PIXEL
640 x 350 @ 85.1 ] 224k COUNT
576 x 384 @ 109.6 ] 221k
...
The user set modes come first followed by X set modes which are ordered
by decreasing number of pixels and refresh.
The reason why every other library or program not using SDL working is
due to SDL scanning the modes in reverse getting X11 provided modes
modes with the lowest refresh.
Improved Xinerama support.
Added support for the SDL_VIDEO_FULLSCREEN_HEAD environment variable, currently supported on X11 Xinerama configurations.
Only use the VidMode extension on the primary head.

Subject: Re: SDL OS/2 build updated?
It seems that I made a mistake in the previous Watcom makefile, leaving
out some .c files from linking, this is now fixed, and everything builds
well now.

Subject: [SDL] SDL pre-release
OpenGL fails on the zipped pre-release source accessible from
http://www.libsdl.org/svn.php.
Appears to be following lines in sdl_wing.c (lines 341-345):
wglext = (const char *)this->glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS);
if ( !SDL_strstr(wglext, "WGL_EXT_swap_control") ) {
this->gl_data->wglSwapIntervalEXT = NULL;
this->gl_data->wglGetSwapIntervalEXT = NULL;
}
glGetString is a null pointer, as are other gl function pointers, so call
fails. Never looked at sdl source before, so no further than that as yet.
