& SDL 1.2.4???
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=“iso-8859-1”
I’m also using SDL with Win XP pro, though I mostly write 2d apps. I
have ran a few of my older OGL apps (mainly trying to figure out why
XP was slower in OGL than previous, lesson learned “Update your video
drivers”). The only problems I noticed with the quick launch bar was
that occasionally it would dissappear after I exited a program. It
would return if I hovered the mouse over it. I blame it on MS bugs in
xp’s themable explorer shell, and the closest I can come to verifying
it is that in TweakUI there is are “Rebuild” options for things that
just get thrashed while running XP (icons, fonts, etc). Maybe it’ll
be cleared up when XP SE is released in a few months, maybe not,
either way it’s most likely XP’s fault and switching to Direct X would
be side stepping around bugs that MS has introduced. Stick with OGL,
be portable, be happy

Hopefully someone else is having the same problem as me? If I run
fullscreen with SDL and OpenGL my quicklaunch, system tray icons mess
up. The tooltip box don’t match up with the icons program name? If I
run in a window mode everything is fine. I have a AthlonXP 1800+,
Radeon 8500 card, 768MB, MSI K7T Pro 2RU MB. I am running Windows XP
Prof. I never had these problems with my Win2K system. I hope this
issue can be fixed soon, I don’t want to stop using SDL due to me
switching back to a Mac in the next few months. I want to be able to
code on the PC till then and want my code portable. I do not want to
use Direct X. I am wondering if OpenGL is the problem? Is it Windows
XP? I just need some answers before I go nuts!!! Here is my code for
someone to look at and see if their is something wrong. Thanks.
