I attempted to compile and install the SDL-1.0.0.tar.gz file on a Solaris
2.6 box and it compiles ok (after I disable sound). Whenever I try to
initialize video it tells me there are No video devices available. The
older version I was using, 0.11, didn’t have any problems at all.
Also, I notice that SDL is very slow on my 16bit->16bit software blits.
This is on an x86 linux machine. I compiled with NASM, so I figured it
would be much faster, but I can blit faster in C accessing the pixel arrays
than SDL does. Are there no hermes routines for 16->16 blit w/
transparency? If so, how can I make sure they are being used?

Possibly a bit off topic - but there’s lots of really fast blitting routines
in a library called NukeDX. It’s windows oriented, but the underlying blit
routines (x86 asm) could be used in SDL to make it a bit quicker.

Hi all,
I’m doing with a group of 5 students research about SDL. So far we found quite some SDL documentation and exampes. We have a lot of questions about SDL and the progress lately being made with SDL 2.0. We tried to contact sam but so far without a single reply. Is there a develloper on this mailinglist who knows a lot about SDL.
That knows not only technical aspects but also something about the history and the future perspective of SDL and who is willing to answere some questions from us by mail or irc chat.
Best regards,

You might get a better response if you just wrote out your questions and
posted them on the list. People will answer the questions they can, and
it will start a discussion that will get you more information than you
can get by talking to just one person. Not to mention that doing it that
way allows people to spend as much time as they want answering the
questions, rather than committing to an unlimited amount of time to
answering your questions. I know from experience that agreeing to
"answer a few questions" for a group of students can turn into an open
ended time sink.
