Subject: [SDL] [PATCH] Touchscreen support to fbcon via tslib
Hi all!
I'm new to this list, I just subscribed. I've attached to this e-mail
a patch I've written in order to add Touchscreen support to SDL's fbcon
module via the tslib library.
Since it introduces a new dependency, I've also edited the the
configure.in file and added it as a compile-time option.
This patch is especially useful for handhelds (I've tested it in my
Zaurus).
Please consider applying it. :-)

Subject: [SDL] NetBSD build patch
Hi everybody,
apparently the SDL-1.2.9 source archive could not compile "as is" on
NetBSD 2.0_STABLE due to a pthread detection issue in the configure script.
I attached a small patch that can be applied to configure.in so that SDL
can be directly (i.e. without the NetBSD package manager) configured and
built successfully on NetBSD (at least on the one I tried !).
Hope this helps,

Subject: [SDL] New driver for OpenBSD/wscons
Hello,
I've written an SDL driver for OpenBSD/wscons (console mode, somewhat
resembling the functionality of the svga driver for Linux). I use it
for playing MAME on my Sharp Zaurus. The alternative is to play under
X, which is slower.
I asked how to submit the driver a few days ago, and posted a link to
the patch in a follow-up, so maybe it was missed?
Anyway, the patch is on the web at:

in this case actually, the error is in libsdl
the configure check for dlvsym presence is pretty pointless, it currently
always detects it

since it's merely compiling, the warning about dlvsym being implicitly

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:
http://www.algonet.se/~afb/SDL-12CVS-macvideo.patch

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

Subject: [Fwd: SDL patch: make usage of rpath optional]
Here's a small patch against current SDL CVS that makes usage of rpath
optional, by passing --disable-rpath to configure. This comes in handy
when redistributing SDL -- the rpath setting prevents the lib being
loaded if it's not in the rpath, which makes redistributing in packages
to be installed by non-root users pretty much useless.

The most significant of these are:
Optimised assembler blit rountines - I've attached the file

Move to using /dev/dsp instead of its own audio implementation.
This means that src/audio/riscos/SDL_drenderer.c should be removed
Typo fixes. Mainly correct spelling of "RISC OS", but some from elsewhere
too.

I sent you a patch a few months ago which enables SDL to load ALSA

made the detection of the alsa library name a bit better. I've also
fixed up the loading versioned symbols with dlvsym, so that it falls
back to dlsym.
I wouldn't say the configure script is complete yet, but this is how far
I've come this time, and I'm no expert at those things.

Subject: Dynamic loading of ALSA
I recently discovered that SDL can dynamically load ESD and aRts, and
made a patch which adds this same functionality to ALSA.
The update for configure.in isn't too good (it should e.g. look for
libasound.so in other directories than /usr/lib), because I'm not too
good at shellscripting and autoconf.
The reason for using dlfcn.h and dlopen instead of SDL_LoadLibrary and
SDL_LoadFunction is that libasound uses versioned symbols, and it is
necessary to load the correct version using dlvsym. This isn't probably
any real portability issue, because ALSA is linux-only.

Compiling SDL with a recent gcc (gcc 3.3.1, 3.3 doesn't have this

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.

I've created an update patch for enhanced Nano-X support

it if you would apply it to the next SDL version.
Enhancements include:
1. Small bugfixes to compile without errors
2. Support for direct client-side framebuffer access with configure option
3. Add dynamic pixel type support for hardware framebuffer; eliminating the
need for compile-time configuration option.
I've updated the README.NanoX file with the details.
This version has been tested with Microwindows v0.89pre9 CVS
and SMPEG 0.4.4. I've added multi-threading support to
Microwindows to support the multi-threaded SMPEG, and

Subject: SDL/OSX: Joystick; Better key handling
I just finished implementing improved keyhandling for OS X (in fact
the code should be easily ported to the "normal" MacOS part of SDL, I
just had no chance yet). Works like this:
First init the mapping table statically like before. Them, it queries
the OS for the "official" key table, then iterates over all 127
scancode and gets the associates ascii code. It ignores everythng
below 32 (has to, as it would lead to many problems if we did not...
e.g. both ESC and NUM LOCk produce an ascii code 27 on my keyboard),
and all stuff above 127 is mapped to SDLK_WORLD_* simply in the order
it is encountered.
In addition, caps lock is now working, too.
The code work flawless for me, but since I only have one keyboard, I
may have not encountered some serious problem... but I am pretty
confident that it is better than the old code in most cases.
The joystick driver works fine for me, too. I think it can be added
to CVS already. It would simply be helpful if more people would test
it. Hm, I wonder if Maelstrom or GLTron has Joystick support? That
would be a wonderful test application :)
I also took the liberty of modifying some text files like BUGS,
README.CVS, README.MacOSX (which now contains the OS X docs I long
promised)
