Description Alexander Hirsch 2008-10-08 09:10:34 UTC 
I created a window like this:
SDL_CreateWindow("Title", SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, 800, 600, SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN)
and a renderer like this:
SDL_CreateRenderer(mainWnd, -1, SDL_RENDERER_PRESENTFLIP2|SDL_RENDERER_PRESENTVSYNC|SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED)
and I can draw on it:
SDL_SelectRenderer(mainWnd)
SDL_RenderFill(0x22, 0x22, 0xFF, SDL_ALPHA_OPAQUE, NULL)
none of these functions return -1.

When I minimize the window I get the SDL-Error "Reset(): DRIVERINTERNALERROR" and when I open it again, I get the SDL-Error "Clear(): INVALIDCALL" when executing SDL_RenderFill (and it returns -1). The window also seems quite small now... (resizing before rendering does now help though)

I have a GeForce 9600 GT and as far as I know it works fine. I have updated drivers (v178.13) and DirectX (9.0c August 2008) and use an up-to-date version of the SDL-trunk (subversion 4104).
A friend of mine gets the same error (he has a 6800 GTS).

I lost my interest after a while, but I've come back to see if this bug was resolved. And as it isn't I thought I might as well tackle it again and was able to pinpoint the root of this bug:

When you minimize a window the event SDL_WINDOWEVENT_RESIZED gets pushed and handled to call SDL_OnWindowResized, which of course calls D3D_DisplayModeChanged if the renderer is DirectX and there D3D_Reset gets called, which sets the error. My guess is, that you can't reset the D3DDevice if width and/or height are 0.
The probably invalid D3DDevice then causes more errors to come up.

Thanks for the info, I'll take a look!

Does this bug still exist? I am not getting it on Windows 7.
Comment 4 Sam Lantinga 2011-03-11 18:28:42 UTC 
I believe this is fixed in the latest snapshot:
http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/SDL-1.3.zip

Can you reopen this bug if you're still seeing it?

Thanks!
