Input and Display Status Update (3)

[Harold Hunt <Harold at compasstechnologies dot com>]

The windowed X server now complies with overlay alignment and size
restrictions again; this allows operation on video cards that require
overlays to be on certain byte boundaries and/or of a certain size multiple.

I finished up the code that notifies the X server of the current state of
the Num Lock, Caps Lock, Scroll Lock, and Kana Lock keys on startup or on
application activation.

I'm thinking about working on the following things before I package up a
test release:
1)  Possible display method that avoids overlays, thus allowing higher
resolution display on machines with limited video memory.
2)  Using DirectInput for mouse and keyboard input whenever possible, only
falling back on standard input methods when DirectInput intialization fails.
3)  Allowing the X server window to be moved around the screen
4)  Using overlays on Windows 98, primary surface on NT/2000 (might do this
later, as a test release for Win9X only would be fine)

I'll keep you posted,

Harold
