[SDL] SDL 1.3 sneak peek (July 2006)

[Mike Gorchak]

Hello, Sam!

My 2cents, there is no overlay functions in the SDL_video.h, it would be 
fine to do YUV overlay hardware formats enumeration, which supported by the 
current video driver. It would be nice to have special argument in the 
CreateYUVOverlay function to specify to create hardware only surface without 
software emulation. And it would be nice to create function which checking 
number of available hardware overlays. Almost all video chips allows one 
surface only, but modern chips allows one YUV surface per monitor and more 
than one YUV overlay simultaneously.

With best regards, Mike Gorchak.  E-mail: lestat at i.com.ua
