Hi Sam,
Same thing again. I was just wondering if there have been any changes
made to the headers or are these internal implementation changes?

Thanks,

These are just internal implementation changes. This should be true
in general for the SDL 1.2 series.

See ya,

Hmm, it seems to Parachute now when I use SDL_DOUBLEBUF with
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=dga under Linux.

  • Added FreeBSD VGL video driver from FreeBSD ports

There were some problems with the original vgl patch for configure.in

  • misspelled field name and CheckVGL() call in BSDi section instead of
    FreeBSD one (my fault), please apply attached patch. Other than that
    1.2.2 works on FreeBSD like a charm. Thank you!
