We're getting down to the end of bugs for the 1.2.12 release...most of 
the original TODO list is done, plus many more that were added. It's 
starting to look really good, but, as is found in all bug trackers, the 
last few bugs are always hard to fix. We need everyone's help to smash 
this last few bugs!

Here's what's left. We need reproduction cases, insight, and maybe even 
patches. Most of these just need someone that can trigger the bug so we 
can examine it.


Here's the most important one, even if you have one monitor:

"SDL_SetVideoMode with SDL_OPENGL crashes when using two monitors"

We think we have a fix for this, but we couldn't reproduce this in the 
first place.

WE NEED EVERYONE WITH A WIN32 OPENGL APP TO TEST THE POSSIBLE FIX:

     http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/SDL.dll

It changes some basic work that is done in the Win32 SDL_SetVideoMode(), 
and we'd rather not find out that it crashes on some portion of the 
machines out there. Please test this!

"application hangs during joystick / pad autodetection"

This is a win32 thing (maybe a Super Mario War bug?). If you have any 
SDL apps that use joysticks, please test them on Windows! We need help 
reproducing this bug.

   http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259





"SDL_DisplayYUV_SW() crashes with segment fault"

May just be an application bug. Need people to reproduce it.

"SDL_SetCursor doesn't work in fullscreen mode"

Mac OS X only...Christian, this one is all you.   :)

   http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373



"MP-8800 Quad USB Joypad no longer works with libsdl-1.2.10 or 
libsdl-1.2.11"

Does anyone have one of these adapters?

"error while switching OGL->2D framebuffer"

Windows bug. We need a reproduction case.

   http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378


"SDL_malloc.c - bug in allocation"

We need a reproduction case.

   http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=428



"Joystick Initialisation"

Windows again...please test your sticks and report back!

   http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443



"Alt-Tab in Fullscreen w/ OpenGL Fails"

Windows. We need a reproduction case, if this isn't a driver bug.

   http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449


Also, if you can't help with any of these bugs, please pull the latest 
1.2 branch code from Subversion and try it out with your 
application...we'd like to make sure we aren't introducing regression 
bugs in all this work, too.

Thanks!
