Is anyone planning on adding these? Stephen It's all part of my plan to make SDL (Sam Lantinga's Simple Direct Media Layer) work. It dies quite frequently when starting sound & graphics in some of the test apps. I am suspicious that it requires a threadsafe libX11. -- The views expressed above are not those of PGS Tensor.
