After the SDL 3 renderer migration, the engine has exactly one back
buffer (a CPU-side ARGB8888 SDL_Surface) and one presentation path
(upload to streaming SDL_Texture, RenderPresent). All the SDL 1.2
hardware-surface / page-flipping / depth / driver knobs were dead.
Removed from gfxengine_t:
- _doublebuf, doublebuffer() setter+getter
- _pages, pages() setter
- _shadow, shadow() setter+getter
- _depth + the depth argument processing in mode()
- _driver, driver() setter, gfx_drivers_t enum, GFX_DRIVER_SDL2D
- xflags + the extraflags parameter to open()
- broken_rgba8 (the OpenGL RGBA→RGBA4 workaround field)
- MAX_PAGES + backpage/frontpage + the per-page dirtyrects[]/
dirtytable[]/dirtywtable[] arrays. Collapsed to 1-D dirtytable.
- __invalidate(int page, ...) → __invalidate(rect, window).
- The per-page invalidate() switch on _pages.
- vsync() now hot-applies via SDL_SetRenderVSync (no hide/show cycle).
- mode() keeps the int-bits arg for API compat but ignores it.
Removed from prefs_t:
- videodriver, depth, doublebuf, shadow, pages, broken_rgba8.
Their config-file keys are now read as obsolete fields (silently
consumed, never re-written) so existing config files load cleanly
without breaking on unknown keys.
Removed from the options menu:
- Display Depth, Display Buffering Mode, Software Shadow Buffer,
Display Buffer Pages, Broken RGBA8.
Removed from the escape-hammering safe-video-mode reset path the
fields that no longer exist (doublebuf, pages, shadow, depth,
videodriver).
dashboard.cpp: dropped the doublebuffer()-guarded second pass of the
loading-animation nibble draw; SDL 3's single back buffer doesn't
need it.
Build clean, binary still runs.
