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.

Patch for src/joystick/win32/SDL_mmjoystick.c
I am not even a Windows user, so take the following with a grain of salt:
SDL_mmjoystick.c has a function GetJoystickName which obtains the joystick
name by looking at the registry. The way it does that seems very fishy to me.
Namely, it uses the parameter "index" to construct a registry value name (BTW,
those variables used in the code are really badly named). The value of "index"
in turn equals the current value of "numdevs", as called from
SDL_SYS_JoystickInit.
I read through the MSDN docs at
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/dnarinput/html/msdn_extdirect.asp>,
and I believe the simple fix is to replace line 183 of said file
SYS_JoystickName[numdevs] = GetJoystickName(numdevs, joycaps.szRegKey);
by the following:
SYS_JoystickName[numdevs] = GetJoystickName(SYS_JoystickID[i],
joycaps.szRegKey);
However, that is only *hiding* the real issue. Problem is, the list of
joysticks as returned by windows may contains "gaps", and the code deals
incorrectly with that. Namely those gaps occur if joysticks are
removed/(re)added, as the reporter observed.
The attached patch fixes this and another (off-by-one) issue in the code. But
since I have no Windows machine, I can't even test-compile it, so use with
caution.

My experience is that this works well on Linux, but is actually slower on
PowerPC Mac OS X...not sure if that's an architecture issue or a scheduler
issue, though, and haven't tried it on Intel Mac OS X.
- A change to define CXX in fatbuild, which comforts the configure script a little, even if we don't use C++ anywhere.
- Some code to see how many CPU cores exist and parallelize make across them.
- CFLAGS that apply to both archs are specified seperately (-O3, -pipe, etc)
- -fvisibility=hidden for the gcc4 builds
- a "clean", "clean-ppc" and "clean-x86" command
- Fix to SDL_config_macosx.h for the HAVE_ALLOCA_H thing.
Now builds on an Intel Mac.

Subject: [SDL] sdl-config
I've noticed that `sdl-config' usage reports that --static-libs is
available even when it's not.
I've modified the 'sdl-config.in' file so that it no longer reports
'--static-libs' if SDL was compiled with --disable-static.
I didn't change --disable-shared behavior.
The clipping is done at a higher level, and the low level functions are
passed clipped rectangles. Drivers which don't support source clipping
have not been changed, so the image will be squished instead of clipped,
but at least they will no longer crash when the destination rect was out
of bounds.
On servers with the composite extension enabled, visuals with 32-bit depth
have an alpha mask. This is pretty neat, but SDL needs a bit more work to
handle these properly, so for now, we'll just use 24 bit depth visuals.
