Do not try to guess MIT_SHM extension availability from the string
returned by XDisplayName, use the appropriate API instead.
This fixes SDL2 inside hasher.
SDL_SendWindowEvent will only send a RESTORED event if the window has
the minimized or maximized flag set. However, for a SHOWN event, it
will clear the minimized flag. Since the SHOWN event was being sent
first for a MapNotify event, the RESTORED event would never be sent.
Swapping the SendWindowEvent calls around fixes this.

I have written a program that, in the event that the user requests more MSAA samples than their hardware supports, attempts to gracefully fall back to the best MSAA available. This code works with my conventional OpenGL renderer, but if I change nothing about the code except to make it request an OpenGL ES profile instead, Xlib kills the program with an error that looks like:
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 4 (X_DestroyWindow)
Resource id in failed request: 0x5c00008
Serial number of failed request: 188
Current serial number in output stream: 193
To trigger the bug, attempt to create a window with the SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL flag, with SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK set to SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_ES, and with SDL_GL_MULTISAMPLESAMPLES set to any unsupported value. SDL_CreateWindow properly returns NULL, but at this point the program is already doomed. Xlib will shortly terminate the program with an error. Calling SDL_CreateWindow again will immediately trigger this termination.
I have attached a skeletal program that reproduces this bug for me. Replacing SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_ES with SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_COMPATIBILITY avoids the bug (but, obviously, doesn't create an OpenGL ES context).
As I suspected, the problem was with XDestroyWindow being called twice on the same window. The X11_CreateWindow function in src/video/x11/SDL_x11window.c calls SetupWindowData. If initialization fails after that point, XDestroyWindow gets called on the window by a subsequent call to X11_DestroyWindow. But, later in the same function, iff a GLES context is requested and initializing it fails, X11_XDestroyWindow (which wraps XDestroyWindow) is manually called. Shortly after, the intended call to X11_DestroyWindow occurs, which attempts to destroy the same window again. Boom.
(The above confusing summary involves three separate, similarly-named functions: XDestroyWindow, X11_DestroyWindow, X11_XDestroyWindow)
I have attached a simple patch that removes the redundant X11_XDestroyWindow calls. I've tested that XDestroyWindow still gets called for the windows in question, and that it only gets called once.
This can happen if a window is still grabbed when we try to move it, or if
the X11 ecosystem is just in a bad mood, I guess.
This makes sure that SDL will report the correct position for a window;
otherwise, SDL_GetWindowPosition will just report whatever the last
SDL_SetWindowPosition call requested, even if the window didn't actually move.

For X11 GenericEvents, the associated data is only available between a call to XGetEventData and the matching XFreeEventData, i.e. in X11_HandleGenericEvent. Trying to call XGetEventData a second time on the same event will fail, so an application that wants to inspect XInput2 events (e.g. for stylus pressure) has no way of retrieving its data from queued SYSWM events.
The attached patch (based on SDL-2.0.7-11629) sends SYSWM messages from X11_HandleGenericEvent while the data is still available, allowing client code to register an event filter/watcher and process the event inside the callback.
Touch device types include SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_DIRECT (a touch screen with window-relative coordinates for touches), SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_INDIRECT_ABSOLUTE (a trackpad-style device with absolute device coordinates), and SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_INDIRECT_RELATIVE (a trackpad-style device with screen cursor-relative coordinates).
Phone screens are an example of a direct device type. Mac trackpads are the indirect-absolute touch device type. The Apple TV remote is an indirect-relative touch device type.
Include guards in most changed files were missing, I added them keeping
the same style as other SDL files. In some cases I moved the include
guards around to be the first thing the header has to take advantage of
any possible improvements compiler may have for inclusion guards.
It needs to use Bool (which is an int) and not BOOL (which is CARD8), which
causes problems on platforms with different byte order and alignment, etc.
Fixes Bugzilla #4326.
First: disable d'n'd events by default; most apps don't need these at all, and
if an app doesn't explicitly handle these, each drop on the window will cause
a memory leak if the events are enabled. This follows the guidelines we have
for SDL_TEXTINPUT events already.
Second: when events are enabled or disabled, signal the video layer, as it
might be able to inform the OS, causing UI changes or optimizations (for
example, dropping a file icon on a Cocoa app that isn't accepting drops will
cause macOS to show a rejection animation instead of the drop operation just
vanishing into the ether, X11 might show a different cursor when dragging
onto an accepting window, etc).
Third: fill in the drop event details in the test library and enable the
events in testwm.c for making sure this all works as expected.
"Applications (such as SDL's testgesture) do "event.tfinger.x * window_width"
to find window coord. Currently the X11 XInput2 backend expects application
to do "event.tfinger.x * (window_width-1)" instead.
X11 XInput2 touch events are normalized so x is 1.0 at "width - 1" but other
SDL backends appear to have x be 1.0 at "width". Same issue for touch event
y with regards to height."

This patch allows the user to disable the behaviour that blocks the compositor through a new hint: SDL_VIDEO_X11_NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR. This allows tools or other windowed applications to behave properly under KWin.

The documentation for SDL_TouchFingerEvent says that the x and y coordinates are normalised between 0-1. I've found that to be true on Windows, Android and iOS but on X11 they are in pixel coordinates. This patch fixes the issue. This was the cleanest way I could do it with what was available without changing things around a lot but you may know a better way.

I'm having a very slow initialization of the video subsystem that locks the window creation for about 500 ms ( tested in at least 4 different systems ). What i found is that X11_InitModes_XRandR is using XRRGetScreenResources, that explicitly ask to poll the hardware for changes. This is not really necessary since if the data is already available you can use XRRGetScreenResourcesCurrent.
I attached a tentative patch that fix this issue. With the patch there's no lock when the subsystem is initialized and the window creation is instant in my applications. The patch only uses XRRGetScreenResourcesCurrent in X11_InitModes_XRandR but it could be potentially used in X11_GetDisplayModes and X11_SetDisplayMode.
This is necessary because we need to see if GLES compat extensions exist.
All of this code (including ShouldUseTextureFramebuffer()) should be
revisited after 2.0.6 ships; ideally we don't make throwaway contexts if
we can avoid it...but maybe we can't. I hear Vulkan is pretty cool.

This fixes a strange corner case (notes appended below), and should be
safe to do anyhow.
Fixes Bugzilla #3674.
"I did more tests.
It appears the bug only happens if there is
another window on the screen that has "always
on top" property. For me it is xawtv - it is
always opened in a screen corner. Closing
xawtv or removing "always on top" property
from it makes the problem to go away.
Plus, it doesn't appear like the buttons are
not delivered at all. It appears that instead
the button presses are delivered on some mouse
positions, but not delivered when you move the
mouse to other part of the window... So this is
really weird and is likely somewhere deep in the
Xorg.
Maybe somehow it happens that the cursor is
actually above the xawtv window, but, because
my app uses grab, it is not visible there, and
in that case the events are not delivered to
my app?
But with my patch the button events are
always delivered flawlessly, it seems.
Hmm, and that indeed seems to explain my problem:
if the mask is set properly and my app uses
grab, then, even if the mouse is above some
other window, the events would still be delivered
to the grabbing app, which is what actually wanted
because my app uses relative mouse mode, so it
doesn't know the pointer can cross some other window
(my app draws the pointer itself).
So my current theory is that my patch only enforces
the mouse grab, which otherwise can be tricked by
some other window preventing the button events
delivery (but motion events are still delivered
via xinput2, which makes it all look very obscure)."

Maximilian Malek for WGL, etc. Thanks to both of you!

I implemented precise scrolling events. I have been through all the folders in /src/video/[platform] to implement where possible. This works on OS X, but I can't speak for others. Build farm will figure that out, I guess. I think this patch should introduce precise scrolling on OS X, Wayland, Mir, Windows, Android, Nacl, Windows RT.
The way I provide precise scrolling events is by adding two float fields to the SDL_MouseWheelScrollEvent datastructure, called "preciseX" and "preciseY". The old integer fields "x" and "y" are still present. The idea is that every platform specific code normalises the scroll amounts and forwards them to the SDL_SendMouseWheel function. It is this function that will now accumulate these (using a static variable, as I have seen how it was implemented in the Windows specific code) and once we hit a unit size, set the traditional integer "x" and "y" fields.
I believe this is pretty solid way of doing it, although I'm not the expert here.
There is also a fix in the patch for a typo recently introduced, that might need to be taken away by the time anybody merges this in. There is also a file in Nacl which I have stripped a horrible amount of trailing whitespaces. (Leave that part out if you want).

I have occasional crashes here caused by the X11 backend of SDL2. It seems to
be caused by the X11_Pending function trying to add a high number (> 1024)
file descriptor to a fd_set before doing a select on it to avoid busy waiting
on X11 events. This causes a buffer overflow because the file descriptor is
larger (or equal) than the limit FD_SETSIZE.
Attached is a possible workaround patch.
Please also keep in mind that fd_set are also used in following files which
may have similar problems.

I personally experienced this problem while hacking on the python bindings
package for SDL2 [1] (while doing make runtest). But it easier to reproduce in
a smaller, synthetic testcase.

I'm interested in this bug as well. I have experienced it when trying to embed an SDL_Window into a FLTK application. To do this, I create a FLTK window (window inside a window - think video player) and then use SDL_CreateWindowFrom() on the inner most window's Xlib Window*. After which, I create a renderer.
In my situation I am using the FLTK GUI toolkit.
What I have experienced is that the SDL_CreateRender() will recreate the window in order to properly setup OpenGL capability. As part of this process, the window is hidden and a call is executed that waits indefinitely for an acknowledgement that the window was indeed unmapped. This is where my program hangs.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but should SDL2 not make Xlib calls that effect the Xlib Window in this situation (e.g. When SDL_CreateWindowFrom() is used)? The toolkit being used typically assumes responsibility and, I presume, tracks all Xlib Windows it creates.
On line src/video/SDL_video.c:1372 the comment associated with setting SDL_WINDOW_FOREIGN reads:
/* Can't destroy and re-create foreign windows, hrm */
Since I do not know the reason for hiding the window in the first place, the attached patch simply does not wait for a response when X11_XWithdrawWindow() and X11_XMapRaised() are issued by X11_HideWindow() and X11_ShowWindow(), respectively. I presume that the GUI toolkit (GTK, FLTK, etc.) has or will consume the acknowledging event as it is managing the Xlib Window (or it thinks it is).
I have tested the patch against hg 5c645d037de2 and I have successfully tested:
* Embedding the SDL_Window inside a FLTK application.
* Calling SDL_SetWindowSize() when FLTK resizes the window (e.g. dragging cursor on the edge of the window).
* Filling the renderer's default target blue and drawing a red fill square at the centre (exciting, I know!)
* Calling SDL_Quit() when the application terminates
I do not receive any Xlib erorr messages (BadWindow, etc.) in any of those situations.

Hello, I began a little program with SDL2 on Linux in C, and when I call SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) I get an error and this is printed in the console:
XDM authorization key matches an existing client!
I searched through Internet, and found that some people suggest to run 'xhost +' or to specify this in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config:
DisplayManager*authName: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
I don't think an end user needs to know that...
But what bothered me is that first I started this little program in Pascal using the Freepascal compiler and it works. In freepascal you only use some thin header bindings in Pascal and then it links with the dynamic SDL library, so I don't understood why it worked with Freepascal and not in C.
I run ldd to the two generated applications:
Application in C:
linux-gate.so.1 (0xffffe000)
libSDL2-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0 (0xb76ac000)

libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xb72d3000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7755000)
It seems that Freepascal is linking with libX11, libxcb, libXau and libXdmcp .
Linking my C application with libxcb solved the problem (linking with libXau and/or libXdmcp without libxcb didn't work). Linking with X11 links all the other libraries and works as well.
So I fill this bug report mainly to let you know about this. I don't know if it is a problem that can be solved on the libSDL side or not, but at least I hope it will help.
Hi, some tests:
1. Disabled XDM. Login in console and running 'startx'. The program works without having to link with X11.
2. Enabled XDM. Added 'DisplayManager*authName: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1' to /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config.The program works without having to link with X11.
3. Enabled XDM without 'DisplayManager*authName: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1' in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config . I get the authentication error unless I link with X11.

In some environments, xrandr modes initialization can fail even though xrandr support is present and of a sufficient version.
(The one I encountered was an AWS instance running a virtual display)
The attached patch allows SDL to keep trying other methods if xrandr modes initialization fails (still subject to SDL_VIDEO_X11_REQUIRE_XRANDR).

The attached patch adds support for KMS/DRM context graphics.
It builds with no problem on X86_64 GNU/Linux systems, provided the needed libraries are present, and on ARM GNU/Linux systems that have KMS/DRM support and a GLES2 implementation.
Tested on Raspberry Pi: KMS/DRM is what the Raspberry Pi will use as default in the near future, once the propietary DispmanX API by Broadcom is overtaken by open graphics stack, it's possible to boot current Raspbian system in KMS mode by adding "dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d" to config.txt on Raspbian's boot partition.
X86 systems use KMS right away in every current GNU/Linux system.
Simple build instructions:
$./autogen.sh
$./configure --enable-video-kmsdrm
$make
Now the clipboard isn't lost if you destroy a specific SDL_Window, as it
works on other platforms. You will still lose the clipboard data on
SDL_Quit() or process termination, but that's X11 for you; run a
Clipboard Manager daemon.

After hiding the window, SDL_WINDOW_HIDDEN/SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN flags on a window are correctly updated. However on the next SDL_PumpEvents, they are set incorrectly.
This appears to be because X11_GetNetWMState does not check whether the _NET_WM_STATE property exists (it shouldn't on unmapped windows, see https://specifications.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.3.html#idm140130317598336). This results in an empty list of atoms for the state, which would imply that the window is not hidden.
(Seen on Fedora 24, Gnome)

More details on my proposed patch: I am on Kubuntu 16.04.2. I ran into this same bug, but with Jason's patch I found that actualType != None was true so the SDL_WINDOW_HIDDEN would still not be set. My fix instead is to explicitly check for whether the window is unmapped rather than relying on the returned values in XGetWindowProperty.
The Xlib documentation demands that 32-bit values here be passed in a long,
even when long itself isn't a 32-bit value. Otherwise libx11 might read
memory incorrectly.

Failing to check if a key was known to be pressed by SDL was causing

In X11 the SDL error "Unknown touch device" can occur after which the application stops recognizing touch events. For a kiosk-type application this results in a hang as far as the user is concerned. This is reproducible on HP Z220/Z230/Z240 workstations by swapping USB cables for a while and it also occurs with no physical changes, probably due to USB device power management. A workaround is to make SDL re-enumerate the touch devices like it does at startup. A patch is attached.
X11 seemed to be confused by the broad definition, so WEIGHT_NAME,
SLANT and SETWIDTH_NAME were defined, thus fixing the font lookup
on some systems (tested on Mageia 6 with X11 1.19.1).
Fixes bug 3571.

The attached patch does the following for the X11 and Windows platforms, the only ones where SDL attempts to use context_create_es_profile:
- Adds SDL_HINT_OPENGL_ES_DRIVER by which the application can
say to use the OpenGL ES driver & EGL rather than the Open GL
driver. (For bug #2570)
- Adds code to {WIN,X11}_GL_InitExtensions to determine the maximum
OpenGL ES version supported by the OpenGL driver (for bug #3145)
- Modifies the test that determines whether to use the OpenGL
driver or the real OpenGL ES driver to take into account the
hint, the requested and supported ES version and whether ES 1.X
is being requested. (For bug #2570 & bug #3145)
- Enables the testgles2 test for __WINDOWS__ and __LINUX__ and adds
the test to the VisualC projects.
With the fix in place I have run testdraw2, testgl and testgles2 without any issues and have run my own apps that use OpenGL, OpenGL ES 3 and OpenGL ES 1.1.

I realized overnight that my patch probably broke text input events with UIM, and I confirmed that it does. Can't believe I overlooked that... I've been making stupid mistakes in these patches recently, sorry.
Anyway, *this* one seems to fix it properly. Knowing my luck it probably breaks something else.
Patch uses XkbFreeKeyboard to free the memory returned by XkbGetMap.
Earlier implementation called XkbFreeClientMap which frees all the maps
but not data->xkb structure itself, XkbFreeKeyboard will free maps and
the structure.
