## STRUCTURE DATA

- **hw\_available**

  Is it possible to create hardware surfaces?

- **wm\_available**

  Is there a window manager available

- **blit\_hw**

  Are hardware to hardware blits accelerated?

- **blit\_hw\_CC**

  Are hardware to hardware colorkey blits accelerated?

- **blit\_hw\_A**

  Are hardware to hardware alpha blits accelerated?

- **blit\_sw**

  Are software to hardware blits accelerated?

- **blit\_sw\_CC**

  Are software to hardware colorkey blits accelerated?

- **blit\_sw\_A**

  Are software to hardware alpha blits accelerated?

- **blit\_fill**

  Are color fills accelerated?

- **video\_mem**
