Sam,
I've created an update patch for enhanced Nano-X support
with SDL. I've created the patch against SDL-1.2.4. I'd appreciate
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
all works fine. To turn on thread safety in Microwindows,
use THREADSAFE=Y in the Microwindows config file.
Thanks!

Subject: [SDL][PATCH] Audio for Atari, and XFree86 compilation
I corrected a little bug in the Atari audio driver in SDL.
I also added the patch for xfree86 detection in configure.in

Subject: DirectFB 0.9.11
Hi,
we had some API enhancements in keyboard handling.
We support full unicode now and have support for
keyboard mappings. I've attached a patch to have
SDL compile with the upcoming (monday?) DirectFB 0.9.11.
It contains the following functions:
SDL_LoadObject(), SDL_LoadFunction(), SDL_UnloadObject()
The UNIX esd and arts audio code use these to dynamically load
their respective audio libraries.

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)

Subject: New patch for OS X
Attached a .patch file for SDL/OSX with some nice bug fixes / enhancments.
* fixes the activation issues, which also caused the window to be
always drawn like an inactive. The close/minimize widgets now are
animated properly, too.
* the menu items are automatically adjusted to use the app name
instead of just "SDL App". I did this so that we really can use one
central SDLMain.nib file, w/o requiring developers to make a copy of
it and adjust it.
* libSDLMain now contains the proper cocoa code, not as before the
carbon code. This means apps no longer have to carry a copy of
SDLMain.m/SDLMain.h
* revamped configure.in to properly build a Cocoa/Quartz SDL lib, not
a Carbon based SDL lib
