Hi,

yes, for windows and mac .11 is going to be used.  However I might
change the default video driver from windows gdi to directx as it has
been until the .10 and .11 releases of SDL.  Since that changes input
behaviour, as well it is a big loss in performance.

The intel laptop chipset driver that was the cause of the problems for
the directx backend has long since been fixed.  Also older directx
versions are supported by vista, contrary to the reasoning behind the
change by SDL.
