So isn't that the same as a HWSURFACE display surface when you're not
using openGL?

Further testing shows that the pixels pointer for an opengl SDL

I have no idea why an opengl surface save is handled in such a

I get what the new code is trying to do - but my point was
that at some point a surface is written out to a file - I
was specifically asking how that is accomplished, possibly
deep in SDL land. If SDL was able to lock the GL display
surface, and get a * to the pixels, then wouldn't you be
able to treat saving the screen exactly the same as all
other surfaces?
