[SDL] DGA problem

[Sandra]

after registering the environment variable forllowing were the results:

hw_available Is it possible to create hardware surfaces?   AVAILABLE
wm_available Is there a window manager available  NOT AVAILABLE
blit_hw  Are hardware to hardware blits accelerated?  AVAILABLE
blit_hw_CC Are hardware to hardware colorkey blits accelerated?AVAILABLE
blit_hw_A   Are hardware to hardware alpha blits accelerated? AVAILABLE
blit_sw   Are software to hardware blits accelerated?  NOT AVAILABLE
blit_sw_CC Are software to hardware colorkey blits accelerated?  NOT
AVAILABLE
blit_sw_A  Are software to hardware alpha blits accelerated?  NOT AVAILABLE
blit_fill   Are color fills accelerated? AVAILABLE

I've nVidia GeForce 2 MX 200, doesn't it support the rest of the
functionalities (I am particularty interested in sw to hw blits). or am i
missing something once again?

regards,
sandra
