OR\&'d combinations of the following values are valid\&. +.TP 20 +\fBSDL_SWSURFACE\fP +Create the video surface in system memory +.TP 20 +\fBSDL_HWSURFACE\fP +Create the video surface in video memory +.TP 20 +\fBSDL_ASYNCBLIT\fP +Enables the use of asynchronous updates of the display surface\&. This will usually slow down blitting on single CPU machines, but may provide a speed increase on SMP systems\&. +.TP 20 +\fBSDL_ANYFORMAT\fP +Normally, if a video surface of the requested bits-per-pixel (\fBbpp\fR) is not available, SDL will emulate one with a shadow surface\&. Passing \fBSDL_ANYFORMAT\fP prevents this and causes SDL to use the video surface, regardless of its pixel depth\&. +.TP 20 +\fBSDL_HWPALETTE\fP +Give SDL exclusive palette access\&. Without this flag you may not always get the the colors you request with \fI\fBSDL_SetColors\fP\fR or \fI\fBSDL_SetPalette\fP\fR\&. +.TP 20 +\fBSDL_DOUBLEBUF\fP +Enable hardware double buffering; only valid with SDL_HWSURFACE\&. Calling \fI\fBSDL_Flip\fP\fR will flip the buffers and update the screen\&. All drawing will take place on the surface that is not displayed at the moment\&. If double buffering could not be enabled then \fBSDL_Flip\fP will just perform a \fI\fBSDL_UpdateRect\fP\fR on the entire screen\&. +.TP 20 +\fBSDL_FULLSCREEN\fP +SDL will attempt to use a fullscreen mode\&. If a hardware resolution change is not possible (for whatever reason), the next higher resolution will be used and the display window centered on a black background\&. +.TP 20 +\fBSDL_OPENGL\fP +Create an OpenGL rendering context\&. You should have previously set OpenGL video attributes with \fI\fBSDL_GL_SetAttribute\fP\fR\&. +.TP 20 +\fBSDL_OPENGLBLIT\fP +Create an OpenGL rendering context, like above, but allow normal blitting operations\&. The screen (2D) surface may have an alpha channel, and \fI\fBSDL_UpdateRects\fP\fR must be used for updating changes to the screen surface\&. +.TP 20 +\fBSDL_RESIZABLE\fP +Create a resizable window\&. When the window is resized by the user a \fI\fBSDL_VIDEORESIZE\fP\fR event is generated and \fBSDL_SetVideoMode\fP can be called again with the new size\&. +.TP 20 +\fBSDL_NOFRAME\fP +If possible, \fBSDL_NOFRAME\fP causes SDL to create a window with no title bar or frame decoration\&. Fullscreen modes automatically have this flag set\&. +.PP +.RS +\fBNote: +.PP +Whatever \fBflags\fR \fBSDL_SetVideoMode\fP could satisfy are set in the \fBflags\fR member of the returned surface\&. +.RE +.PP +.RS +\fBNote: +.PP +The \fBbpp\fR parameter is the number of bits per pixel, so a \fBbpp\fR of 24 uses the packed representation of 3 bytes/pixel\&. For the more common 4 bytes/pixel mode, use a \fBbpp\fR of 32\&. Somewhat oddly, both 15 and 16 will request a 2 bytes/pixel mode, but different pixel formats\&. +.RE +.SH "RETURN VALUE" +.PP +The framebuffer surface, or \fBNULL\fR if it fails\&.
