SDL_systhread.c and SDL_syslocale.c used to call LoadLibrary() without
calling FreeLibrary() later. GetModuleHandleW() should always succeed
because GetModuleHandleW() itself is imported from kernel32.dll and we
don't need to bother releasing it.
- acinclude/alsa.m4, esd.m4: Ran through autoupdate to replace several
AC_TRY_[COMPILE|LINK|RUN] with corresponding AC_???_IFELSE , so that
autoconf-2.70 doesn't warn.
- sdl2.m4: Ditto.
- test/acinclude.m4 (sdl2): Ditto.
- remove HP/UX 9 (%@#!) support
- change fopen() mode from "a" to "w" in test code.
- bump its serial num to 2.
- test/acinclude.m4: same sdl2.m4 updates.
- revise for better compatibility with new autoconf,
- remove HP/UX 9 (%@#!) support from it,
- replace system("touch conf.esdtest") with fopen/fclose in the
test code (see, e.g. glib-2.0.m4 -- sdl.m4 does the same.)
.. so that KMSDRM_CreateDevice() can fail and SDL_VideoInit() would
move on to next bootstrap member which is kmsdrm_legacy. hopefully
fixes bug #5393.
Specifically this patch which does not invoke _AC_PATH_X_XMKMF and
_AC_PATH_X_DIRECT internal autoconf routines when cross-compiling:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=autoconf.git;a=commitdiff;h=33c3a47c04ab70a4dd54963fe433a171bc03747f
Without this, CFLAGS would brokenly have system include paths like
-I/usr/include/X11 when cross-compiling e.g. for windows. (And it
also resulted in annoying imake crashes for my setup...)
Substring
I was trying the KMSDRM video backend with some very simple programs that were working ok on 2.0.12. The same code won?t work on the current dev branch and I get:
DEBUG: check_modesetting: probing ?/dev/dri/card0?
DEBUG: /dev/dri/card0 connector, encoder and CRTC counts are: 4 5 6
DEBUG: check_modesetting: probing ?/dev/dri/card0?
DEBUG: /dev/dri/card0 connector, encoder and CRTC counts are: 4 5 6
DEBUG: KMSDRM_VideoInit()
DEBUG: Opening device /dev/dri/card0
DEBUG: Opened DRM FD (3)
DEBUG: no atomic modesetting support.
DEBUG: Video subsystem has not been initialized
INFO: Using SDL video driver: (null)
DEBUG: Video subsystem has not been initialized
After carefully checking, the radeon driver doesn?t support atomic modesetting. That?s not the only problem : the same happens with the amdgpu driver if we disable Display Core (kernel parameter amdgpu.dc=0, which is required to get analogue outputs working).
This is a major regression in the KMSDRM driver.
Using atomic mode setting is great, but having no fallback to the "standard KMS" is bad.
