Touch device types include SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_DIRECT (a touch screen with window-relative coordinates for touches), SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_INDIRECT_ABSOLUTE (a trackpad-style device with absolute device coordinates), and SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_INDIRECT_RELATIVE (a trackpad-style device with screen cursor-relative coordinates).
Phone screens are an example of a direct device type. Mac trackpads are the indirect-absolute touch device type. The Apple TV remote is an indirect-relative touch device type.

When using SLD2 on a Linux console with the KMS/DRM video backend and Linux evdev keyboard support, the caps lock, scroll lock, and num lock leds do not work.
The attached patch adds ioctls for setting the LED state in SDL_evdev_kbd.c
Include guards in most changed files were missing, I added them keeping
the same style as other SDL files. In some cases I moved the include
guards around to be the first thing the header has to take advantage of
any possible improvements compiler may have for inclusion guards.

"In release 2.0.6, when Linux evdev keyboard support has been moved to a
separate source file, a feature was added to disable normal keyboard event
processing to prevent "spilling" keystrokes to background virtual console.
This feature has one unpleasant side effect: if application fails to call
`SDL_Exit` before termination or crashes with fatal signal, console is left
in unusable state with keyboard not working and no possibility to switch
virtual console. If user has a chance, he can login remotely and restore
keyboard with `kbd_mode`, otherwise the only option is to reboot the machine.
This patch fixes that problem by intercepting fatal signals (with `sigaction`)
and process termination (with `atexit`), to restore keyboard state, if it
wasn't properly restored with `SDL_Exit`.
The function registered with `atexit` also restores original signal handlers,
to prevent leaving invalid handlers after SDL library is unloaded, if it was
loaded dynamically with `dlopen`.
No signal handlers or `atexit` function are installed if SDL boolean hint
`SDL_HINT_NO_SIGNAL_HANDLERS` is `SDL_TRUE`.
Additionally, if environment variable `SDL_INPUT_LINUX_KEEP_KBD` exists,
keyboard initialization function completely skips disabling keyboard. This
can be useful for debugging."
Fixes Bugzilla #4193.
Parse out a copy of the varargs ourselves to get to the reply portion, since
the original passed to D-Bus might modify or not modify the caller's copy,
depending on system ABI.
This was reproducible by running an SDL app on the console from an ssh login. In this case the terminal wasn't owned by the user running the app, so we were using the default keymap, which didn't have state transitions defined for ctrl and alt, so once we entered that state keypresses would no longer transition out of that state, nor would they generate text.
As a workaround, we'll just reset to the default shift state if that happens, which means we'll get text for keys pressed while ctrl is held down, but I don't think that's a big problem.
Note that in this case we also can't mute the keyboard, so the keypresses go to the console, which probably isn't what you want...

After updating from 2.0.5 to 2.0.7, Ibus not work anymore(fcitx still works).
Compare with 2.0.5, there are two issues in SDL_ibus.c.
1, SetupConnection always return SDL_FALSE in 2.0.7.
2, 'SetCapabilities' method should be called on 'ibus_conn'.
Patch attached.

dbus_shutdown() is a debug feature which closes all global resources in the dbus library. Calling this should be done by the app, not a library, because if there are multiple users of dbus in the process then SDL could shut it down even though another part is using it.
For example, i had an issue with this in mGBA, which uses both Qt and SDL, both using libdbus. I had a session bus, but no system bus (this was in a flatpak sandbox), and when SDL_DBus_Init() failed to init the system bus it called dbus_shudown() and continued on. This caused issues for Qt when running due to its session bus connections having disappeared beneath it.
SDL now builds with gcc 7.2 with the following command line options:
-Wall -pedantic-errors -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wno-overlength-strings --std=c99

As of 2.0.6, all of my games are failing with the following error:
process 31778: arguments to dbus_type_is_basic() were incorrect, assertion "dbus_type_is_valid (typecode) || typecode == DBUS_TYPE_INVALID" failed in file dbus-signature.c line 322.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

I have occasional crashes here caused by the X11 backend of SDL2. It seems to
be caused by the X11_Pending function trying to add a high number (> 1024)
file descriptor to a fd_set before doing a select on it to avoid busy waiting
on X11 events. This causes a buffer overflow because the file descriptor is
larger (or equal) than the limit FD_SETSIZE.
Attached is a possible workaround patch.
Please also keep in mind that fd_set are also used in following files which
may have similar problems.

I personally experienced this problem while hacking on the python bindings
package for SDL2 [1] (while doing make runtest). But it easier to reproduce in
a smaller, synthetic testcase.

In the normal case we'll load all the keymaps from the kernel, but this reduces the size of the SDL library for the fallback case when we can't get to the tty.

I've ran into an issue where I successfully receive SDL_KEY[UP,DOWN] events but not SDL_TEXTINPUT or SDL_TEXTEDITING. In my case the code in SDL_EVDEV_do_text_input() is returning early (on error) prior to calling SDL_SendKeyboardText(). I'm running on the RaspberryPi 3, without X11.
In SDL_EVDEV_do_text_input() there is a condition to check keysyms with a type value below 0xf0, then subtract 0xf0 from type. Without understanding the purpose of this code, I disabled it, recompiled, and I'm getting correct SDL_TEXTINPUT events. I'm going to guess that my hack/fix is going to be problematic in some other environment, but after some initial testing it looks like everything is running fine in my setup.

I believe this patch should fix it, instead of looping through all the tty's and seemingly selecting the wrong one and corrupting the console I've just made SDL open /dev/tty which is the console attached to the current process anyway.

When calling ioctl(fd, KDGKBTYPE, &type) in SDL_EVDEV_is_console(), we declare type as an 'int'. This should be a 'char'. The subsequent syscall, and kernel code, only writes the lower byte of the word.
See: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c?v=4.4#L399
ucval = KB_101;
ret = put_user(ucval, (char __user *)arg);
I've observed intermittent behavior related to this, and I can force an error condition by using an int initialized to 0xFFFFFFFF. The resulting ioctl will set type to 0XFFFFFF02, and the conditional return in SDL_EVDEV_is_console() will fail.
Recommend changing to char, or masking off unused bits.

Compiling even a simple SDL2 'hello world' program with gcc -Wstrict-prototypes (GCC 6.2.1) results in warnings like:
/usr/include/SDL2/SDL_gamecontroller.h:143:1: attention : function declaration isn't a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes]
extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_GameControllerNumMappings();
^~~~~~
It seems there is a missing 'void' between the parentheses.

Just moved ibus direct call to SDL_IME_* related functions, and adds fcitx IME support (uses DBus, too),
enable with env: SDL_IM_MODULE=fcitx (ibus still the default one)

I've spent the last few days implementing touchscreen support in core/linux/SDL_evdev.c. It's fairly rudimentary at the moment, as can be seen from the multiple TODO's and FIXME's littered throughout, but I'm mainly submitting this patch for review. I've tested this patch on my Raspberry Pi 2 with the official touchscreen and it works fantastically, reporting all 10 multitouch points. I'm happy to work on this further, the evdev logic also needs a bit of a cleanup I think (I may have included a few changes). But if it's good enough in its current state to be committed then I'm sure there'd be plenty of people pleased, as currently the only other framework/library that supports touchscreens on the Raspberry Pi is Kivy.
Sometimes, on removal SDL_EVDEV_udev_callback() gets called with zero udev_class. This in turn seems to be caused the SDL_udev.c:guess_device_class() failing to find the attributes of the parent device.
Apparently this is normal, attributes are not guaranteed to be in place during removal, depending on timing. This lack of attributes causes guess_device_class() to return zero.
This fix mimics the code in linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c:joystick_udev_callback() which effectively has the same fix already in place.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
