I have been asking around and finding mixed results with Qtopia (Zaurus) and
the use of pthreads. I noticed that the SDL packages available are compiled
with pthreads. Is this a requirement of SDL or can these be recompiled without
the use of multiple threads? I am finding slowdowns in multimedia applications
that may be caused by multiple threads (assuption).
Also, is there a command in SDL to automatically adjust a larger formatted
screen i.e. 640x480 to a smaller screen i.e. 320x240?
Lastly, does SDL make use of the F33 and F13 function keys? These are the "ok"
and “cancel” buttons on the Zaurus.

SDL uses threads for audio and possibly for timers but otherwise not.
Shouldn’t be an issue however.

No.

Cancel is Escape, not F13. F13 is one of the top 5 keys. F33 isn’t
mapped however, I’m afraid. Should probably be remapped to
’Return’ or so.–
