Description Steve Allen 2006-02-25 17:12:12 UTC 
SDL will give me a hardware surface for 32 bit and 16 bit images but will not 
allow one for 24 bit images.
Comment 1 Sam Lantinga 2006-02-25 17:28:09 UTC 
DirectX doesn't actually support acceleration of 24-bit surfaces.  What it actually uses is 32-bit surfaces with the high 8 bits unused, so pixel access are aligned.
