Summary: Pixel format problems in testsprite and testsprite2
Product: SDL Reporter: Alberto Luaces <aluaces>
Component: videoAssignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>

Description Alberto Luaces 2009-08-14 07:18:05 UTC 
The test programs using blits (testsprite, testsprite2, testalpha...) are
not working for me. I suppose that is some problem with the pixel format of my screen:

* testsprite2 fails displaying a black stripe at the right side, as shown in http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/3635/softrendbug.png when using the "software" renderer.

* testsprite and testalpha show incorrect blittings, maybe because they choose a bad pixel format.See it at http://img141.imageshack.us/i/testsprite.jpg/

* testsprite and testalpha work correctly with SDL 1.2 on this computer.

This is the output of testvidcard with SDL 1.3:

Thank you.

Can you retest with the current SDL snapshot?
http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/SDL-1.3.zip

Thanks!

Hello Sam, 

that release gave me problems compiling because some issues with the assembler in SDL_cpuinfo.c. However I could build the latest SVN version.

The pixel format issue is gone now, and the smiling faces are blitted correctly in both programs. The testalpha program is not behaving completely well, but I think it's a different problem than the one that this bug report is covering.

For me, this bug is solved.

Thank you!

Okay, thanks!
