Subject: [SDL] Dynamic OpenGL lib support for Mac
Here's a patch that adds LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress
to the Carbon macintosh driver (for Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X):
http://www.algonet.se/~afb/SDL-1.2.6-macdynamicgl.patch
It just calls the corresponding function from SDL_loadso.
It also fixes one Mac bug in SDL_loadso.c, that made it fail
always when loading a library, and fixes the screen update
after receiving an update event - which caused the OpenGL
context to be overwritten by a blank window by UpdateRect...

Found the problem: FSReadFork returns eofErr when the file is finished.
However, we check its return value for errors, and if anything but
noErr occurs, the reader thread aborts its current iteration. That is
bad, because it aborts before it can ever set the flag which tells that
the file is over (also, any remaining data which FSRead did return is
lost - so you'd not hear about to 4 seconds from the end of the file.
Furthermore, the computed data size was 8 bytes to high (I forgot to
account for the fact that the size of an (A)IFF chunk always contains
the chunk header & size fields, too). This is enough to make it work.
However, the end condition is rather fragile, so I tuned some other
things to be pessimistic (check for <= 0 instead of == 0, when eofErr
is encountered enforce mReadFilePosition == mFileLength). You never
know...
The attached patch fixes the issue for me.

Subject: [SDL] directfb cursor patch
here is a quick and dirty patch that allows directfb to change the
visibility of the cursor. this display backend still has no way to change
the actual cursor shape, but being able to set the cursor visibility is a
simple change that should offer some benefits.
the code was largely based on the cursor code for other sdl backends. and
this documentation.

Subject: [SDL] patch: PocketPC 2000 diffs for release_1_2_6
I was making a backup of my current workspace of SDL for PocketPC,
and thought I would send out my diffs.
Apologies in advance if the patch has become whitespace mangled.
These diffs are relative to CVS tag release_1_2_6, and contain (I think)
all changes that have been mentioned on the mailing list in the last
few months.
I only have PocketPC 2000 & an ARM-based device (iPaq 3635), and I
only use Embedded Visual Tools 3.0, so I can't say for sure if it
breaks other PocketPC 200[023] builds.
nanosleep because nanosleep may not be portable to all systems
using SDL with the ALSA backend. This may be a moot point with
the switch to blocking writes anyway...

Subject: [SDL] Bug#225252: [PATCH] ALSA fixes
Package: libsdl1.2debian-all
Version: 1.2.6-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
For SDL 1.2.6, the ALSA backend was changed to call snd_pcm_open() with
SND_PCM_NONBLOCK. That's a good idea per se, however, it causes high CPU
usage, interrupted sound and stuttering in some games here. Taking a nanosleep
whenever snd_pcm_writei() returns -EAGAIN fixes this, but I think it's more
efficient to use blocking mode for the actual sound playback. Feedback from the
SDL and ALSA lists appreciated.
The patch also fixes the default ALSA device to be used.

Subject: SDL: video/quartz cleanup
while doing some experimental changes in the quartz code, I was annoyed
by having to recompile that one big .o file over and over again. So I
decided to finally realize one TODO: properly splitting the code over
multiple files :-).
With two exceptions, I didn't make code changes, only rearranged files
and added new headers. Since there are several new files, making a
patch didn't work out so well, so I decided to just send you all the
new & modified files.
The one source change I made is related to showing/hiding the mouse. I
renamed cursor_visible to cursor_should_be_visible and cursor_hidden to
cursor_visible; I think that makes reading the code easier.
Then I added two new functions: QZ_ShowMouse and QZ_HideMouse. They
help manage cursor_visible (the former 'cursor_hidden'). Finally I
replaced the Carbon ShowCursor/HiderCuror calls by [NSCursor hide] and
[NSCursor unhide]. The API docs are not conclusive, but it might be
that with those the "cursor_visible" (former 'cursor_hidden') hack may
not be necessary anymore; however so far I didn't test this hypothesis,
so I left that in.
The other change was to remove in_foreground and use [NSApp isActive]
instead: Manually keeping track of whether we are in the foreground is
error prone. This should work better in some corner cases.

Hi Ryan,
attached is a patch to fix a segfault in DirectFB_VideoQuit.
When SetVideoMode never gets called (f.e. wrong command line arguments
for "testsprite"), this->screen->hwdata is NULL.

The attathced patch does the trick (although there will have to be code

On a side-note, the good news is that using alsa 1.0.0rc1 solves the
previous issues I had with my ac97 via sound chipset.

Subject: SDL/QNX6 new patch
Here in attachment my patch for the SDL/QNX6 again :) It contain non-crtitical/cosmetic fixes:
1. Fixed window centering at other than the first consoles.
2. Fixed window centering algorithm in case when window height or width are greater than the desktop resolution.
3. Fixed window positioning on other than the first consoles.
4. Fixed occasional input focus lost when switching to fullscreen.
5. Removed the Photon's default chroma color for the overlays, added RGB(12, 6, 12) color instead (very dark pink).
6. Added more checks to the YUV overlay code (fixed crashes during resolution mode switches).
7. Added support for Enter/Backspace keys in unicode mode (used by Maelstrom and by other games).
8. Fixed window restore/maximize function. It works, finally.

Subject: SDL building "the unix way" on OS X
I just noticed that building current SDL CVS "the unix way" (using
configure/make) is (and has been for some time, it seems) broken.
That's because Sam updated to a newer libtool version, which removed my
"-framework" patches.
Attached is a patch which once again makes ltmain.sh aware of
"-framework". Note that this is simply a backport of the corresponding
changes in libtool CVS (i.e. the next libtool release will contain
those same changes).

Lately, I upgraded my gcc compiler and could trigger the error described

SDL_RLEaccel.c: In function `RLEClipBlit':

The attached patch fixes this issue, and is smaller than the previous
one, as I was able to trigger the issue, so I could narrow it.

Subject: MGA CRTC2 update
Hi Ryan,
attached is a small update for the DirectFB MGA CRTC2 support:
- Video aspect ratio correct scaling (important for MAME)
- Small bugfix in previous scaling code
- Ability to control the TV picture overscan via the environment variable
SDL_DIRECTFB_OVERSCAN.
Sounds worth enough for applying it to SDL CVS ;-)
