[SDL] SDL_ttf and DPMSDisable bug is back or still there

[Olivier Boudeville]

Hi,

while running a test case on GNU/Linux (Ubuntu Edgy) with SDL-1.2.11,
SDL_ttf-2.0.8 and freetype-2.2.1, TTF_RenderGlyph_Solid returned the
following error : "Failed loading DPMSDisable: /usr/lib/libX11.so.6:
undefined symbol: DPMSDisable".

I found some posts that said the issue was solved, but it does not seem
to be the case : each time SDL_ttf tries to render (solid) a space, the
error is triggered.

Does anybody know if this is a SDL_ttf bug and if it could be solved so
that 'solid' can be used again ?

I was able to reproduce it with showfont, the error occurs whenever
'-solid' is specified, apparently not depending on the text to render
nor on the chosen TTF font.

Best regards,

Olivier.

PS : Not related, but on libsdl.org when you click on 'Mailing Lists'
(http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php) the
http://listserver.dreamhost.com/listinfo.cgi/sdl-libsdl.org link is
shown, when clicking on it we have :  'No such list sdl-libsdl.org'. It
may prevent new users from registering ?
