Bug 42

Summary: Querying X11 extensions writes to stderr...
Product: SDL Reporter: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Component: videoAssignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2    
Version: 1.2.9   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Linux   

Description Ryan C. Gordon 2006-01-12 17:23:53 UTC 
There's a macro in a header we use to query X11 extensions that writes an error to stderr if the extension is missing...this is most notable when you go fullscreen on Xfree86/x.org when SDL has support for XME. Disable this output.

Comment 1 Ryan C. Gordon 2006-01-12 18:29:30 UTC 
Specifically:

This calls XMissingExtension() inside xlib...there's a way to hook into XMissingExtension() to override the default behaviour (need to look it up).

Alternately, we can just hack extutil.h in our source tree, but let's avoid that more than we already do.

Fixed in CVS.

Comment 3 Ryan C. Gordon 2006-01-27 11:23:14 UTC 
Setting Sam as "QA Contact" on all bugs (even resolved ones) so he'll definitely be in the loop to any further discussion here about SDL.
