First patch to use sdl+fbcon+mesa

SDL Development
1

this patch allows to use mesa with fbcon from within SDL
(=> opengl without X - but also without hardware acceleration)
it uses the offscreen mesa backend

i used mesa 5.0.1 (with only the osmesa backend enabled)

i did not yet write a test for the SDL configure script
=> you have to set your CFLAGS="-DHAVE_OSMESA=1"

with 1024x768x16 i did get 15fps on a 450Mhz AMD with testgl (included
in SDL)
all nehe-sdl tutorials worked

TODO:

  • SDL_GL_GetAttribute is not yet implemented
    BUGS:
    many
    (f.e. adic - http://adic.berlios.de - doesn’t work yet)

greetings karme

Hey, that’s great but what would take to have acceleration?

TIA
