differnce between repository code and modified version

It would be really nice, if SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_ACCELERATED_VISUAL,false) will actually force the software rendering on Mac OS X. It is pretty easy to do, but by the time, I'm doing it myself everytime, as I update SDL.

I am using the patch attached to achieve described functionality.
Comment 1 Sam Lantinga 2009-02-16 22:14:17 UTC 
Thanks!  I'm waiting on a code release before applying this patch.

Ryan, do you think this is a good idea?  Currently I don't think we default this value true, but maybe we should.
Comment 2 Ryan C. Gordon 2009-02-18 23:35:30 UTC 
If we default the value to true, I think this patch is a good idea.

--ryan.
Comment 3 Dmitri Vedenko 2009-02-19 07:05:57 UTC 
It seems, tha patch is not working on latest svn revision. (it inserts the else statement in wrong place). If you wish, I can create patch for the latest svn version). Actually it is pretty simple.
Comment 4 Sam Lantinga 2009-10-10 12:42:38 UTC 
Sure, that would be great.

Thanks!
Comment 5 Ryan C. Gordon 2009-10-11 14:33:53 UTC 
Sam, do we want to sneak this into 1.2.14?

--ryan.
Comment 6 Sam Lantinga 2009-10-11 14:41:03 UTC 
Sure. :)
Do we want to do the equivalent code for WGL and GLX?
Comment 7 Sam Lantinga 2009-12-15 12:38:31 UTC 
I turned on OpenGL hardware acceleration by default and added software OpenGL path for Mac OS X, in revision 5405.

Thanks!
