Please view the attached source file. Using this minimal program (as attached),
it creates an OpenGL 2.0 context with a cleared color buffer. If I set the
OpenGL version to 3.2, the function SDL_GL_CreateContext fails (or more
specifically, glXMakeCurrent fails) with an X11 BadMatch error:


X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  128 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
  Serial number of failed request:  153
  Current serial number in output stream:  153


Also note that if I do not specify the alpha buffer size, the program works for
OpenGL 2.0 and OpenGL 3.2.

After some further analysis, I believe I have found the problem. The specific
issue is in:

SDL_x11opengl.c::X11_GL_CreateContext.

Note that for OpenGL 3.2 contexts, the GLXFBConfig to use is chosen as the best
match from glXChooseFBConfig. However, opengl attributes originally set with
SDL_GL_SetAttribute are not mapped to GLX attributes and then passed to the
glXChooseFBConfig function. According to the GLX 1.4 specification, if the
attributes are not specified, the function falls back to defaults (which, in
this particular case, prefer alpha channel size == 0).

For testing purposes, I modified the call to glXChooseFBConfig to look
something like this:


int glxAttribs[] =
{
 GLX_RED_SIZE,8,
 GLX_GREEN_SIZE,8,
 GLX_BLUE_SIZE,8,
 GLX_ALPHA_SIZE,8,
 None
};

if (!glXChooseFBConfig ||
 !(framebuffer_config = glXChooseFBConfig(display, DefaultScreen(display),
glxAttribs, &fbcount)))
{
 ...
}


The best match GLXFBConfig then supports 8 bit alpha channel. The program then
works as intended.


Hope this helps!

Don't automatically send minimized and maximized events, it's up to the windowing system to decide what to do with them.

Added documentation for why we need an SDLView

Fixed the responder chain for event handling, the listener fully handles mouse events - even in fullscreen mode.
The only reason we need a custom view is to handle right mouse down.

Implemented mouse grabbing, although it's kind of clunky right now.  I'll be adding a relative mode that will be smoother soon.

Adding patch that adds a simplified API for the haptic subsystem built ontop of
the "real one" for those who want simple rumble without jumping through hoops.

Adds 4 functions:

- extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_HapticRumbleSupported(SDL_Haptic * haptic);
- extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_HapticRumbleInit(SDL_Haptic * haptic);
- extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_HapticRumblePlay(SDL_Haptic * haptic, float
strength, Uint32 length );
- extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_HapticRumbleStop(SDL_Haptic * haptic);

Also provided is test/testrumble.c which does test this.

This has all been tested on linux and has worked, but due to being built ontop
of the other haptic API it should work on all OS the same.

Linux uses fname, which is the name of the device path like for example
/dev/input/event3 so it shouldn't have the issue. However I can confirm that it
looks like haptic->index never gets properly set on windows. Have to look at
mac os x also. I'll see if I can fix it real quick now.
