This fallback is undesirable when using ANGLE, because it will end up
using some default configuration (e.g. on Windows it defaults to the
D3D11 backend).
This adds support for forcing the use of EGL on Windows and MacOS. The
SDL_HINT_VIDEO_X11_FORCE_EGL hint is retained for backwards
compatibility but is now deprecated.
Disabling RAWINPUT on Windows 10 causes these issues:
* All Xbox controllers are named "XInput Controller".
* Trigger rumble no longer works.
* "XInput Controllers" are now also listed as separate haptic devices
It's only needed to support more than 4 Xbox controllers, and adds significant complexity to the joystick processing, and we regularly get bugs from people who aren't using an SDL window who need to turn on SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_THREAD.
Several games (including Source and GoldSrc games, and Bioshock
Infinite) attempt to "fake" relative mouse mode by repeatedly warping
the cursor to the centre of the screen. Since mouse warping is not
supported under Wayland, the viewport ends up "stuck" in a rectangular
area.
Detect this case (mouse warp while the cursor is not visible), and
enable relative mouse mode, which tracks the cursor position
independently, and so can Warp successfully.
This is behind the SDL_HINT_VIDEO_WAYLAND_EMULATE_MOUSE_WARP hint, which
is enabled by default, unless the application enables relative mouse
mode itself using SDL_SetRelativeMouseMode(SDL_TRUE).
Note that there is a behavoural difference, in that relative mouse mode
typically doesn't take mouse accelleration into account, but the
repeated-warping technique does, so mouse movement can seem very slow
with this (unless the game has its own mouse accelleration option, such
as in Portal 2).
* Added support for vertical mode for Joy-Con controllers
* Added the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_VERTICAL_JOY_CONS for switching to this mode
* Added support for SL/SR buttons in combined/vertical mode and L/ZL/R/ZR buttons in mini-gamepad mode
* Added support for mini-gamepad mode for Joy-Con controllers, matching the mapping for hid-nintendo on Linux and iOS 16
* Added the ability to merge left and right Joy-Con controllers into a single Pro-style controller
* Added the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_SWITCH_COMBINE_JOY_CONS to control this merging functionality
* Removed the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_JOY_CONS
Adds hint "SDL_WINDOWS_DPI_SCALING" which can be set to "1" to
change the SDL coordinate system units to be DPI-scaled points, rather
than pixels everywhere.
This means windows will be appropriately sized, even when created on
high-DPI displays with scaling.
e.g. requesting a 640x480 window from SDL, on a display with 125%
scaling in Windows display settings, will create a window with an
800x600 client area (in pixels).
Setting this to "1" implicitly requests process DPI awareness
(setting SDL_WINDOWS_DPI_AWARENESS is unnecessary),
and forces SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI on all windows.
The hint allows setting a specific DPI awareness ("unaware", "system", "permonitor", "permonitorv2").
This is the first part of High-DPI support on Windows ( https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/2119 ).
It doesn't implement a virtualized SDL coordinate system, which will be
addressed in a later commit. (This hint could be useful for SDL apps
that want 1 SDL unit = 1 pixel, though.)
Detecting and behaving correctly under per-monitor V2
(calling AdjustWindowRectExForDpi where needed) should fix the
following issues:
https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/3286https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/4712
Add the hint "SDL_VIDEO_WAYLAND_MODE_EMULATION", which can be used to disable mode emulation under Wayland. When disabled, only the desktop and/or native display resolution is exposed.
