Description Tupone Alfredo gentoo-dev 2005-01-06 14:32:00 UTC
SDL_pixel.c on src/video/x11 seems to force an 8 bit framebuffer to be pseudocolor. There are system where you can set it as a direct or true color .
I attach inline a patch to that file.

Please please please don't inline patches, but now that you have, don't worry about it.
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-01-06 18:16:25 UTC
e-mailed patch upstream, i'll see what they say about it
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-01-13 16:59:42 UTC
upstream got their stuff in gear and created a much more extensive patch

ive added that to cvs for 1.2.8-r1, thanks :)

This patch breaks Aleph One!

Guess we'll have to investigate who's done wrong.
