Subject: [SDL] Mac OS X Video Drivers [patch]
I've updated/added the Carbon and X11 video drivers
to the Mac OS X port of SDL 1.2 (the CVS version),
and made the Cocoa driver and runtime *optional*.
The default is still Cocoa, and the "Quartz" driver.
But you can now also use "toolbox" for Carbon, and
"x11" for running with Apple's (or other) X11 server:
export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11
export SDL_VIDEO_GL_DRIVER=/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.dylib
It also checks if the frameworks are available, by a:
#include <Carbon/Carbon.h> or #import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
(this should make it configure on plain Darwin as well?)
Here are the new configure targets:
--enable-video-cocoa use Cocoa/Quartz video driver default=yes
--enable-video-carbon use Carbon/QuickDraw video driver default=yes
--enable-video-x11 use X11 video driver default=no
./configure --enable-video-cocoa --enable-video-carbon
--enable-video-x11 \
--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
The Carbon version is just an updated version of the old
SDL driver for Mac OS 9, and could probably be improved...
(but it does work, including the Carbon version of SDLmain)
If you disable cocoa, you can run with -framework Carbon only,
and the C version of SDL_main.c. And if you disable carbon too,
you can still use the X11 version which doesn't require SDLmain.
I updated the DrawSprocket version, but did not include it.
(no blitters or VRAM GWorlds etc. available on OS X anyway)
Besides for Mac OS 9, I don't think there's any use for it ?
And note that any performance on Mac OS X equals OpenGL anyway...
You can get "fair" software SDL results on captured CG displays,
but for decent frame rates you need to be using GL for rendering.
Finally, here is the patch itself:

PS. It says "video", but as usual it applies to mouse/keyboard too.

Subject: [SDL] Updated Mac patch
Updated the previous Mac patch to disable Carbon by default.
Also "fixed" the SDL.spec again, so that it builds on Darwin.
http://www.algonet.se/~afb/SDL-1.2.9-mac.patch
Also applied fine to SDL12 CVS, when I tried it.
"I'm on Mac OS 10.3.9 with a CVS SDL 1.2.9.
My understanding is that SDL_CDResume is supposed to resume play after
calling SDL_CDPlay. It doesn't on my system. It returns 0 but nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Subject: [SDL] signal handling bug
I encountered the following bug:
SDL doesn't reset signal handlers for SIGTERM and SIGINT, after calling SDL_Quit these remain hooked to the handler in SDL_quit.c, being translated into SDL_QUIT events.
Consequently an application that issues a SDL_Quit and remains running will ignore any SIGTERM or SIGINT., and specifically CTRL-C presses.

Subject: [SDL] Bug report: SDL_CreateRGBSurface with SDL_HWSURFACE crashes
If SDL is in full-screen mode with a hardware video surface on OS X,
SDL_CreateRGBSurface with SDL_HWSURFACE crashes. The crash occurs on
line 109 of SDL_Surface.c. This was tested on OS X 10.3.9 with both SDL
1.2.8 and the latest CVS. Here is a small C++ program that demonstrates
the problem:
#include "SDL.h"
#include <stdio.h>
namespace {
void wait_for_key()
{
SDL_Event e;
printf("%d\n", SDL_GetAppState());
while (SDL_WaitEvent(&e)) {
if (e.type == SDL_KEYDOWN || e.type == SDL_QUIT) return;
}
}
}
int main(int, char *[])
{
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
SDL_Surface *screen
= SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 32, SDL_FULLSCREEN | SDL_HWSURFACE);
SDL_Surface *s = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_HWSURFACE, 640, 480, 32,
screen->format->Rmask, screen->format->Gmask,
screen->format->Bmask, screen->format->Amask);
wait_for_key();
if (s) SDL_FreeSurface(s);
SDL_Quit();
printf("Success!\n");
return 0;
}
Patch by me to address this comment on the SDL mailing list:
"There appears to be a serious bug with SDL_GetAppState on OS X (10.3.9). When
first running in windowed mode and then switching to full screen mode by
calling SDL_SetVideoMode, SDL_GetAppState returns 4 (SDL_APPACTIVE) instead of
7 (SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS | SDL_APPINPUTFOCUS | SDL_APPACTIVE). However, the SDL
application clearly does have the keyboard focus, since it is able to receive
keyboard events."

Subject: [PATCH] fix locking in src/timer/SYS_timer.c
SDL_SetTimer has a typo in CVS. This code was added since 1.2.8. The
result is that the SDL_timer_mutex is locked twice and never unlocked,
breaking systems that use a threaded timer implementation.

Subject: SDL Improved semiphore implementation for RISC OS (version 2)
I've attached a new version of the patch for the RISC OS
semaphore processing (in a zip file) that updates it to use
the improved semaphores support in UnixLiib.
package...make the symbols defined by HID Utilities static inside SDL so that
an app can link against their own copy of this package without symbol clash.
The current GetVideoMode() function stops at the first mode which has any
dimensions smaller than the one asked, and gives the previous in the list.
If I ask 336x224 with this list:
768x480 768x240 640x400 640x200 384x480 384x240 320x400 320x200
SDL will give me 640x400, because 640x200 as height smaller than what I
asked.
However the best mode is the smaller which has both dimensions bigger
than the one asked (384x240 in my example).
This patch fixes this, plus it does not rely on a sorted video mode list.
