I found a bug or two in previous patch, so here is a patch to correct this.

Subject: [SDL] testgl.c minor bug fix for fullscreen mode
from:
if ( strcmp(argv[1], "-fullscreen") == 0 ) {
to:
if ( strcmp(argv[i], "-fullscreen") == 0 ) {
Minor bug, but might help someone else out who is trying to pass
the command-line params -logo -fullscreen like I was! :)
if SDL is built with a non-cdecl calling convention, and it's just generally
bad practice anyhow.
Now programs explicitly call SDL_Quit() where appropriate, wrap SDL_Quit() in
a cdecl function where it can't be avoided, and rely on the parachute where
a crash might have hit the atexit() before (these ARE test programs, after
all!).
"Just a request about test subdirectory: the autotools files
(config.guess, config.sub, etc...) are a bit outdated, and I have to
update them for my cross-compilation party. So it would be nice to
have these updated.
...
Just removing these files works, because then configure will use
those of SDL's topdir. Could someone else check this, just to be sure?
i.e. remove config.guess, config.sub, install-sh and mkinstalldirs from
test subdir."
I tested on Linux and MacOSX...seems to be safe, so I'm nuking the files.

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: QNX 6.3 fixes for SDL
Sam, I've added new OpenGL framework for SDL, which appeared in the new QNX version - 6.3. I've leave compatibility with previous QNX versions. And I've moved all GL specific functions to the separate module, like it done for the other platforms.
SDL is now ready for the QNX 6.3 :)

Subject: SDL updates for the QNX6
1. Updated the README.QNX
2. Updated libtool scripts, which are shipped with SDL for QNX6 support.
3. Added some code to support the new QNX 6.3.0, which is in beta now.
4. Added code to detect the hw features, which driver supports.
5. Added hw alpha blits code.
6. Fixed bug when application switches to fullscreen more the 2 times. (afte\
r that window becames always stay on top).
7. Updated a bit README for the tests.
8. Added information about acceleration show in the testalpha.c test.
9. Added small fixes to the testoverlay2.c test.
10. Added alpha and cc+alpha blits benchmarks to the testvidinfo.c test.

Subject: testdyngl fix
The test program you included in the latest version of SDL crashes on startup in Window (XP). The reason for this is that OpenGL functions on Windows use the __stdcall calling convention, not the C convention. Placing APIENTRY infront of the * operator solves this problem.

Subject: Batch of the QNX6 fixes for the SDL
1. Updated readme.QNX
2. Fixed crashes during intensive window updating under fast machines (got over 200 rectangles for update).
3. Fixed double-buffered fullscreen modes, now it works as needed.
4. Fixed Photon detection algorithm.
5. Fixed HWSURFACE update function.
6. Added SDL_PHOTON_FULLSCREEN_REFRESH environment variable support for control refresh rates under Photon.
7. Added 640x400 fullscreen mode emulation via 640x480 (if videodriver not supports original 640x400 mode of course) shifted by 40 vertical pixels from begin, to center it. It's needed for some old DOS games which ran in doubled 320x200 mode.
8. Added available video ram amount support.
8. Added hardware surface allocation/deallocation support if current videomode and videodriver supports it.
9. Added hardware filling support.
10. Added hardware blits support (simple and colorkeyed).
And I've added to testvidinfo test color-keyed blits benchmark (maybe need to add alpha blits benchmark too ?). Currently Photon not supporting any alpha hardware blittings (all drivers lack of alpha blitting code support, only software alpha blitting exist in photon, which is hundreds times slowest than the SDL's one). So I've not added the alpha support. I suppose new QNX 6.3 will have the hardware alpha support, so when it will be done, I'll add alpha support.
