Subject: [SDL] [Patch] WiseGroup MP-8800 / MP-8866 (PS2 Joystick)
In the current cvs version, SDL doesn't handle these Playstation2
controller => USB adapters correctly, in linux.
It will always assume that the maximum number of joysticks (2 in the
case of the MP-8866, 4 in the case of the 8800) are plugged in. This is
bad not only because it allows SDL to exaggerate the number of logical
joysticks, but primarily because the joystick axes are mapped
incorrectly, all over the place, such that the devices are effectively
unusable unless you have the maximum number of joysticks plugged in.
My changes to src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c build on another's
previous work (which was a special case for this very joystick,
actually), and fix both of these problems, as well as making the current
code a little more general, to allow for others to more easily drop in
code for quirky joysticks such as these.
I've tested this code under 2.6.7 as well as 2.4.24... Both work as
advertised (provided you load the JOYDEV linux code as a module,
otherwise they won't work at all, new code or old, but that's another
issue entirely).
Though this sounds horribly formal, you have my permission to distribute
all of my work on this issue under the LGPL. So there.

Subject: SDL Typedef Structs
Hi, Thanks for the SDL libraries, I have been using them for about a year
now and they are really brilliant. One thing that I have just found whilst
using them through C++ (and needing forward declarations) is that when you
typedef structs you sometimes use
typedef struct Name
{
...
}Name;
e.g. SDL_Surface
and other times use
typedef struct
{
...
}Name;
e.g. SDL_Rect
The first type works fine, when I define a header file I can just put
'struct Name;' at the top and use the Name throughout. However, the second
type is harder to use in a header, and I haven't found a way yet, other than
to include 'SDL.h' in the header file (undesirable). Would there be any harm
in changing the definition of SDL_Rect and such like to the second form?

I've tried playing with running SDL compiled for Windows with Wine (and

managed to make it work. Most of the fixes was patches to Wine(X), but I
also found something in video/windx5/SDL_dx5video.c which, as far as I can
tell, actually is a bug in SDL. The result from the COM method Release,
which returns the new reference count, is compared to DD_OK. Because
QueryInterface is called immediately before, the reference count shouldn't
be DD_OK (== 0).

Subject: [SDL] SDL_QuartzWM patches
I've sent in two small patches to SDL_QuartzWM directly to Sam over the
past few months (well, I think I sent both anyway) and neither of them
have been implemented. I didn't receive a response, so I'm sure he was
just busy and/or they got lost, so I decided to sign up to the list and
post them here.
This patch rolls both of them together:
- Mouse cursor becomes visible if hidden when it moves outside of the
game window. If you want it to stay invisible you should warp it
because if it's not warped a user might click some random other
application! Commercial games behave in this way (or at least Warcraft
III does, which is the only one that uses a custom mouse cursor and no
warping that I've played in recent memory).
- Right mouse button emulation is changed from Command-Click to
Control-Click, which is how OS X behaves.

license it needs to be under.. yadda yadda yadda.

Note, in EV_HandleEvents, the default for case EV_ABS is to return any

Subject: [SDL] Linux joystick patch
I recently got myself a PS2 -> USB converter (a super joybox 5). It
accepts 4 PSX/PS2 controllers. It's implemented as a HID, which is nice
because it doesn't require its own driver, but the problem is that it's
implemented as a *single* HID -- that is, it shows up as a single
joystick with 19 axes, 4 hats, and 48 buttons. This poses a problem for a
number of apps which use SDL (stella, fce ultra, zsnes, to name a few) and
see only a single (physical) joystick even though there are really 4
(logical) joysticks. There are a number of these types of devices on the
market, and I've seen others post messages (in the zsnes forum, for
example) with the same problem, so I came up with what I think is a pretty
generic solution.
I patched src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystic.c to include support for
logical joysticks; basically, it's a static array and supporting functions
that map a single physical joystick to multiple logical joysticks. The
attached patch has the new code. It's wrapped inside #ifndef
statements so that you can get the old behavior if you want.

Subject: [SDL] BUG: changing video mode in opengl + windows
In WIN_GL_SetupWindow (SDL12/src/video/wincommon/SDL_wingl.c) you call
WIN_GL_ResetWindow when SetPixelFormat fails.
WIN_GL_ResetWindow cannot properly work in its current state, because there
are several things to update once you've created a new window. At least
DirectInput doesn't work anymore here (which is somewhat annoying for the
player :).
I think you can simply remove that function. Many games don't try to
recover from that exception, that's why the newest ATI drivers emulate 16
bpp display in 32 bpp mode so the error never occurs (but the games may run
much slower).
Having SDL_SetVideoMode return NULL would be better than actually setting
the video mode and losing focus, directinput and maybe directsound too. It
also made my previous drivers crash (when switching from 32 bpp windowed to
16 bpp fullscreen).

Subject: [SDL] SDL_SetVideoMode() failing and not setting an error (patch)
Running an OpenGL SDL application off 1.2.7, at SDL_InitSubSystem(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) time:
Warning: Unable to initialize AAlib mouseUsing AAlib driver: Slang driver 1.0 (slang)
SDL_SetVideoMode then fails; SDL_GetError() returns "".
The installation problem is straightforward: X (the higher priority
driver) isn't running, so SDL is falling back on aalib. However,
no error is being set when aalib fails to initialize. This also
happens with the svgalib driver.
SDL_video.c line ~653 sets mode to NULL, since aalib didn't return an
OpenGL surface. Line ~711 ("failed setting a video mode") returns NULL.
The attached patch sets an error. It's a horrible, useless error
message--it should really say eg. "aalib does not support OpenGL"; this
should probably be done earlier in the individual drivers, too.

Hi folks,
based on Eric Wing's patch, I created the attached patch which fixes
the OpenGL coordinate inversion bug in SDL. It works fine over here on
10.3 with Ryan's test program (which I also attached).
There is another change in it: I removed the "- 1" in the two lines
using CGDisplayPixelsHigh()... while I understand from a logical point
of view why they *should* be correct, I checked the actual values
computed that way, and they were off-by-one. After removing the " - 1",
the returned mouse coordinates are correct. I checked this by moving
the mouse to the screen top/bottom in fullscreen mode, BTW. With the
change, the proper values 0 and 479 are returned (in 640x480 mode).
Sam, you may still want to test on 10.1, it's very simple using Ryan's
minimal test code :-)

I recently discovered that SDL can dynamically load ESD and aRts, and

The update for configure.in isn't too good (it should e.g. look for
libasound.so in other directories than /usr/lib), because I'm not too
good at shellscripting and autoconf.
The reason for using dlfcn.h and dlopen instead of SDL_LoadLibrary and
SDL_LoadFunction is that libasound uses versioned symbols, and it is
necessary to load the correct version using dlvsym. This isn't probably
any real portability issue, because ALSA is linux-only.
