     5 SDL supports GAPI and WinDib output for Windows CE.

     6 

     7 GAPI driver supports:

     8 

     9 - all possible WinCE devices (Pocket PC, Smartphones, HPC)

    10   with different orientations of video memory and resolutions.

    11 - 4, 8 and 16 bpp devices

    12 - special handling of 8bpp on 8bpp devices

    13 - VGA mode, you can even switch between VGA and GAPI in runtime

    14   (between 240x320 and 480x640 for example). On VGA devices you can

    15   use either GAPI or VGA.

    16 - Landscape mode and automatic rotation of buttons and stylus coordinates.

    17   To enable landscape mode make width of video screen bigger than height.

    18   For example: 

    19     SDL_SetVideoMode(320,240,16,SDL_FULLSCREEN)

    20 - WM2005

    21 - SDL_ListModes

    22
