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] src/joystick/bsd/SDL_sysjoystick.c patch
The *BSD USB HID joystick code has two serious bugs:
1. If a joystick reports unhandled hid_input usage (for example HUG_RZ or
HUG_DIAL), then the last handled value will be overwritten with an
arbitrary value. (Fixed in the patch below by adding a default case.)
2. The current code does only handle logical coordinates in the range 0-255,
while a big part of available joysticks report -128 - 127. (This is solved
in the patch below by first center the range around 0, and then stretch
it to the correct range.)

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
From: screwtape@froup.com
The attached patch lets SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK) succeed on Mac OS
X when there are no joysticks attached, in line with SDL's behaviour
on Linux.
