Subject: Package building for QNX6
I'm just completed the package description file for QNX6 - qpg, it is like a\
.spec files for Linux. Please place SDL.qpg.in file in the root of the proj\
ect, where .spec file is placed. And sdl12qpg.diff - just adding the SDL.qpg\
.in. The same for the SDL_image. I'm planning to add .qpg files creation for\
all SDL* projects.
As for shared library building for QNX6. It is very hard to improve the exis\
ting libtool code to support QNX shared libraries. Much easyiest is to remov\
e libtool.m4 code from the acinclude.m4 for those persons, who building shar\
ed libraries for QNX6. I'm described all what they need to do with .so under\
QNX6 in the README.QNX file. And 90% of people used the precompiled librari\
es, so I think it is not big problem :)

Subject: Patches for tests and QNX6
Here more fixes for the QNX6 in sdlqnx.diff file:
- Spellchecked README.QNX (thanks to Julian Kinraid)
- Fixed bugs in fullscreen mode: window region wasn't on top by default, so \
it caused some artifacts to be appeared on the screen, prevent window conten\
ts default filler in Photon while in fullscreen mode, it damages the screen.
- Added support for the SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS, SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED env variabl\
es.
- Some minor code restructurization.

1) graywin - added support for the gray gradient in the 15/16 bpp modes. Added SDL_VIDEOEXPOSE event handling.
2) testalpha - added support for the gray gradient in the 15/16 bpp modes.
3) testbitmap - added support for the gray gradient in the 8/15/16 bpp modes.

Subject: Re: [SDL] [patch] MMX alpha blit patches with MMX detection
I think everything is correct now. I've done as much testing as I could,
but some real-world testing wouldn't hurt, I think.
The patch is here : http://icps.u-strasbg.fr/~marchesin/sdl_mmxblit.patch
If you do byte-by-byte comparison of the output between C and MMX
functions, you'll notice that the results for 555 and 565 RGB alpha
blits aren't exactly the same. This is because MMX functions for 555 and
565 RGB have an higher accuracy. If you want the exact same behaviour
that's possible by masking the three lower alpha bits in the MMX
functions. Just ask !
I removed one MMX function because after I fixed it to match its C
equivalent, it revealed to be slower than the C version on a PIII
(although a bit faster on an Athlon XP).
I've also added MMX and PIII replacements for SDL_memcpy. Those provide
some speed up in testvidinfo -benchmark (at least for me, under linux &
X11).

Subject: bug in SDL_GetRGB/GetRGBA
There's an embarrassing bug in GetRGB/GetRGBA which apparently has been there
for years. It incorrectly converts colours with < 8 bits/channel.
It came to my attention today in #sdl.
What it does now is (for each channel):
rv = (pixel & fmt->Rmask) >> fmt->Rshift;
*r = (rv << fmt->Rloss) + (rv >> (8 - fmt->Rloss));
which is wrong; the last line should be
*r = (rv << fmt->Rloss) + (rv >> (8 - (fmt->Rloss << 1)));

Subject: RISC OS patches
This patch includes a patch to configure.in for RISC OS cross compiling
which was somehow missed from last time.
It also corrects BPP setting and checking behaviour.

There was one additional patch I forgot to send. I needed to add a few

I updated the patch for current CVS. There are a lot of changes, but I
don't think I've broken anything. This patch also improves the behavior
of window minimize/deminimize.

Subject: New test for overlays
While writting QNX Photon Overlay code I've found that the existent overlay test application is not enough, it performs too artificial tests - it always moves/resizes the overlay's viewport, but in the real life that happens very rare. So I decided to write new test (commonly base on testoverlay.c code) and called it testoverlay2 :)
moose.dat - raw 8 bit paletted data of the small movie. (It was a moose.gif, also included in the attachment as reference, but not needed for this test, it is just for information). I cannot find, who created this .gif, so no credits this time :) But over inet I saw this gif zillion times, so I think we do not infringing somebody rights :)

Subject: SDL/QNX forgotten fixes
Just found, that one chunk for configure.in has not been applied and one for\
gotten by me :) Please add it to CVS.
P.S. Now QNX6.2.1 have the dlopen in libc and in the libltdl. So libc's vari\
ant more prefered, and ltdl rest for compatibility. In this small patch I wa\
s added proper checks.

Subject: SDL OSX fullscreen FIX
the attached patch fixes the fullscreen problems on SDL/OSX. The cause
was that click events are bounded by winRect. Now, winRect is set to
the size of the video surface. But if you e.g. request a 640x420
surface, you might get a 640x480 "real" surface. Still,
SDL_VideoSurface->h will be set to 420! Thus, the upper 60 pixels in my
example received no mouse down events.
My fix simply disables this clipping when in full screen mode - after
all, all clicks then should be inside the screen surface. Higher SDL
functions ensure that the coordinates then are clipped to 640x420. It
works fine in all my tests here. I don't know if it's the right thing
to do in multi screen scenarios, though.

Subject: New patches for QNX6
Here my patches for the SDL/QNX:
QNXSDL.diff - diff to non-QNX related sources:
- updated BUGS file, I think QNX6 is now will be officially supported
- configure.in - added shared library support for QNX, and removed dependency between the ALSA and QNX6.
- SDL_audio.c - added QNX NTO sound bootstrap insted of ALSA's.
- SDL_sysaudio.h - the same.
- SDL_nto_audio.c - the same.
- SDL_video.c - right now, QNX doesn't offer any method to obtain pointers to the OpenGL functions by function name, so they must be hardcoded in library, otherwise OpenGL will not be supported.
- testsprite.c - fixed: do not draw vertical red line if we are in non-double-buffered mode.
sdlqnxph.tar.gz - archive of the ./src/video/photon/* . Too many changes in code to make diffs :) :
+ Added stub for support hide/unhide window event
+ Added full YUV overlays support.
+ Added window maximize support.
+ Added mouse wheel events.
+ Added support for some specific key codes in Unicode mode (like ESC).
+ Added more checks to the all memory allocation code.
+ Added SDL_DOUBLEBUF support in all fullscreen modes.
+ Added fallback to window mode, if desired fullscreen mode is not supported.
+ Added stub support for the GL_LoadLibrary and GL_GetProcAddress functions.
+ Added resizable window support without caption.
! Fixed bug in the Ph_EV_EXPOSE event handler, when rectangles to update is 0 and when width or height of the rectangle is 0.
! Fixed bug in the event handler code. Events has not been passed to the window widget handler.
! Fixed codes for Win keys (Super/Hyper/Menu).
! Fixed memory leak, when deallocation palette.
! Fixed palette emulation code bugs.
! Fixed fullscreen and hwsurface handling.
! Fixed CLOSE button bug. First event was passed to the handler, but second terminated the application. Now all events passed to the application correctly.
- Removed all printfs in code, now SDL_SetError used instead of them.
- Disabled ToggleFullScreen function.
README.QNX - updated README.QNX file. Added much more issues.

Subject: SDL whitespace patch
this patch is lowest priority: it only contains indention fixes. In
some places, instead of tabs, whitespaces where used for indention. But
of course that only "looks good" if you use the exact same tab width as
the author of those files. I tried to replace such cases with tabs for
a more uniform indention. I only did that for a few files.
So, no code changes in this, only whitespaces transformed.
