Hi, everyone,
(1) I just download SDL 1.0, and compiled everything, it look nice.
But when I “make install”, there something confuse me. And I get the following
messages:
make[4]: Enter directory 'SDL-1.0.0/src/video/x11’
Nothing to be done for 'install-exec-am’
Nothing to be done for ‘install-data-am’
and it seems not install in my system. Is anyone can help me?
(2) If I want to use VGA h/w framebuffer as surface, is SDL can do that, or I need to modify it?
Thanks,
Jianhaur Chen

The x11 libraries are included in the main SDL library, and as such are
not installed directly to the install directory. This is not a problem.
(2) If I want to use VGA h/w framebuffer as surface, is SDL can do that, or I need to modify it?
Yes. Pass SDL_HWSURFACE in the flags to SDL_SetVideoMode().
Note that this is often slower than writing to system memory and
updating the screen using SDL_UpdateRect().
Some drivers (like the x11 driver) do not have direct access to
the VGA memory, so be sure to check the flags in the surface returned
by SDL_SetVideoMode().
See ya,

Did the full-screen VGA stuff make it into this release? Or is it still
pretty unstable?

There’s experimental SVGAlib support, which works for me, but I haven’t
tested it on a wide number of distributions. You can enable it by running
configure with the “–enable-video-svga” flag, and there is framebuffer
console support, which is enabled by default, but only supports the
PS/2 and MS mouse protocols at the moment.
There is also an experimental GGI driver which can be enabled by running
configure with the “–enable-video-ggi” flag.
You can explicitly select from any of the compiled-in drivers by
setting the environment variable “SDL_VIDEODRIVER”.
Drivers and corresponding environment variable strings:

Win32
