The nVidia driver requires XInitThreads to be called for it to work in multithreaded mode. Sam also says that the overhead for this is small enough that it should just be done by default at this point. If this causes issues, we can add a hint later to enable / disable this call.
Simple DirectMedia Layer
(SDL)
Version 2.0
---
http://www.libsdl.org/
This is the Simple DirectMedia Layer, a general API that provides low
level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL,
and 2D framebuffer across multiple platforms.
The current version supports Windows, Windows CE, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD,
NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, iOS, and Android. The code contains
support for other operating systems but those are not officially supported.
SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to
several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Erlang, Euphoria,
Go, Guile, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Lua, ML, Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP,
Pike, Pliant, Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk.
This library is distributed under the zlib license, which can be found
in the file "COPYING".
The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in
the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory.
The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date.
More documentation is available in HTML format in "docs/index.html", and
a documentation wiki is available online at:
http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi
The test programs in the "test" subdirectory are in the public domain.
Frequently asked questions are answered online:
