Here is Tux Paint on the B2 XO: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tux_Paint SDL apps do need to handle 5:6:5 color correctly. Gnash is doing something wrong with SDL. Maybe it uses a hardware surface and/or tries to send 24-bit data. This kind of thing just doesn't get tested much anymore, because 8:8:8 is the standard. There is an RPM problem, closed because I can't test or even respond as fast as Jim Gettys can close bugs, which involves SDL_Mixer pulling all sorts of junk including Qt. Fedora is really bad about having non-critical stuff as dependencies. Fixing this one doesn't even require dlopen(). There are also performance problems caused by the 5:6:5 color, but this isn't specific to SDL. CPUs have built-in support for accessing 8-bit values, but not for 5-bit and 6-bit values. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
