OS report these are "horizontal scrollwheel" events, which confuses gaming
apps in several legitimate conditions. Now all scrollwheel events are made
to look vertical when passed to the app.

Subject: [SDL] Diffs for dsp audio in case of failures.
The rewrite recently done for 1.2.8 forgot to handle error cases
by closing the audio.
Here is a patch that does.

I noticed that on my ia64 machine when SDL_Quit was called, the machine would
hang in weird ways. It turned out to be caused by a machine check in the
memset() call near the top of FB_VideoQuit. Generally memset shouldn't be
used on I/O regions like the framebuffer or other I/O device memory (the
Linux kernel has special routines for dealing with I/O memory), so I changed
the #ifdef __powerpc__ to #if defined(__powerpc__) || defined(__ia64__) and
SDL_Quit now works properly. The change should probably be made
unconditional though since doing one byte at a time is the only way to be
portable, afaik.

Subject: RISC OS SDL Patches
Sam, I've attached a diff of the latest changes to libSDL for RISC OS
support. These changes are by Alan Buckley and myself.
The most significant of these are:
Optimised assembler blit rountines - I've attached the file
src/video/riscos/SDL_riscosASM.s which is needed for this.
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.

Subject: Patch to put back dynamic OpenGL loading for MPW
I sent a patch a while ago that removes dynamic OpenGL loading for
Macintosh Programmer's Workshop. Dynamic loading DOES actually work
when an SDL program is built with MPW, it just has to be set up for it.
(Whoops!!) This is the ideal way to get OpenGL extensions to work,
which D2X uses quite a few of.
This patch puts dynamic loading back in SDL for Mac OS 9. It applies to
current CVS. I noticed that two members need to be set when
DrawSprocket is used.

Subject: [SDL] minor bugfix for test/testoverlay2.c
Programs that use malloc ought to #include <stdlib.h> . On 32-bit systems you
can get away with not including it, but on 64-bit systems it will assume
malloc() returns a 32-bit integer and butcher the 64-bit pointers it returns.

Subject: [PATCH] SDL/DirectFB: remove Matrox CRTC2 flicker filter
Hi,
This patch removes the flicker filter option from the DirectFB backend's
Matrox CRTC2 code in SDL. I will be removing the option from DirectFB
(because it doesn't actually work) and that would cause the SDL code to
fail without this fix.
I was going to send this to some SDL list directly but libsdl.org is down
so I'm not sure what if any lists there are. Thomas Jarosch (the guy who
wrote the code) said you would accept SDL patches. Let me know if I should
send this somewhere else.

* SDL_timer_running wasn't always updated correctly.
* Fixed occasional crash in SDL_SetTimer() when clearing threaded timers
* It was possible to get both the timer thread and event thread running
* Other misc. cleanup

Subject: [SDL] KeyRepeat fix
If you switch keys very fast and hold the last one it
doesn't get repeated because the key release of the first key
occured after the key press of the second key.
Unfortunatly the key release of the first key sets
SDL_KeyRepeat.timestamp = 0; causing the the second key not to repeat.
This should be always reproducable. I've only checked this on x86-64
X11.
To fix this I just added another condition to make sure the sym of the
released key matches SDL_KeyRepeat.key.keysym.sym.

SDL-1.2.8 support only Tru64 5.X.
This patch is for Tru64 UNIX 4.X.(tested on Tru64 UNIX 4.0G and 5.1B)
SDL-1.2.8/configure.in:
ld doesn't accept -pthread option.
cc -pthread has same effect as -D_REENTRANT when compiling,
and has same effect as -lpthread -lexc when linking.

Subject: Re: [SDL] SDL 1.2.8 Prerelease
I'm sending small fix for BeOS, which prevents filling up SDL's message
queue too fast.
Without it, SDL receives "key down" messages from BeOS code, for each key
repeat (BeOS handles key repeats itself, and application can check if
received "key down" message from BeOS is first time key down, or if it's
repeat, and which repeat it is). Since there is no way for "sdl driver" to
turn off "default" SDL's key-repeat mechanism, they were working both at
the same time (and queue could be filled up very fast).
So this patch removes handling "key down" message from BeOS if it's
key_repeat "type".

Subject: [SDL] SDL_SaveBMP width bugfix
this fixes the pitch versus width difference that can happen
(especially for 8bit and 24bit (with the exact RGBAmasks) surfaces)
when you use SDL_SaveBMP. The problem was the pitch was used
instead of the width, which in some cases is much wider than the
screen area you really want to save...making for ugly crud on the
saved image borders.
This code has been tested with & without pitch overhangs...and
with the right masks for 24 bit surfaces.
I tested 8,15,16,24,32-0RGB,32-RGBA(with no SDL_SRCALPHA flag).
