Hey guys! I have a quick question. I've been doing some research on the different modes of SDL (I just submitted an article to gamedev) and I was wondering if anyone had a definite answer on if the SDL_HWSURFACE flag with the SDL_OPENGL flag works. I see many examples that use SDL_OPENGL|SDL_HWSURFACE, but then I see some that just use SDL_OPENGL, so my question is when using the OpenGL rendering context, does the SDL_HWSURFACE work? Thanks!

I've never seen an example with SDL_OPENG | SDL_HWSURFACE as the video flag. I've only seen SDL_OPENGL by itself. Theres some information in the SDL documentations on why you can't combine them. I don't know..

It makes no difference, when you call openGL, all the other context related flags are ignored. On windows, it creates an HDC instead of a direct draw surface.

Awesome! Thank you guys for your time!
