Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 17:05:33 -0400 From: Chris Nelson 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.

Date: Mon, 3 May 2004 03:15:01 +0100 From: David Symmonds 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 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 :)

Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2004 19:58:08 +0900 From: Hayashi Naoyuki Subject: SDL_types.h - fix for Tru64 MME The following two problems are fixed. 1. Type of Uint64 is "long long" in SDL_types.h, but is "long" in mmbasic.h(Tru64 UNIX MME header file). 2. Uint8, Uint16 and Uint32 are redefined if you compile a file including mmbasic.h and SDL_types.h.

Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2004 16:52:47 +0200 From: Marcin Konicki Subject: SDL 1.2.7 patch for BeOS (new input handling code) I rewrote input handling code for BeOS. It should be faster now (i got report that mouse is faster, keyboard should be too, but it's harder to observe). I'll try to add mouse wheel support too, soon. Stefano Ceccherini (a.k.a Jack Burton) helped me beautify code (working version was less clean), and it was he who asked me to write this thing ;).

Date: Sat, 03 Jul 2004 02:23:48 +0200 From: Marcin Konicki Subject: [PATCH] Add missing functions and bring back OpenGL This patch adds missing functions: IconifyWindow GetWMInfo GL_LoadLibrary GL_GetProcAddress GL_GetAttribute GL_MakeCurrent Adding GL_* functions brings back working OpenGL in SDL for BeOS :). With addd GL_* functions there are few changes in Window class to handle changes better. Patch also fixes bug which freezed window when using MesaGL instead of BeOS r5 GL - it just needed Window->Quit() added into BE_VideoQuit(). THX to Michael Weirauch (a.k.a emwe) who worked on that bug before and found that it freezes because of lock somewhere. THX to Matti "Mictlantecuhtli" Lev��nen for testing, Rod��ric Vicaire (a.k.a. Ingenu) for OpenGL wisdom, and Stefano Ceccherini (a.k.a Jack Burton) for asking me to fix SDL on BeOS :).
