Component:  ports   |    Version:  2.1.2
 Keywords:          |       Port:  libsdl
--------------------+--------------------------------
 I updated to libsdl 1.2.15_2 and found that my application that uses SDL
 no longer runs, SDL fails to initialize saying there is no video device
 available. I've just looked at the changelog for libsdl and found that it
 was changed to "disable deprecated cocoa video". I installed XQuartz and
 with that get an SDL error saying that the X11 driver was not configured
 with OpenGL (my application is using OpenGL with SDL). I can't find
 anything saying that the Cocoa backend is deprecated upstream, so what is
 the reason for it being considered deprecated in MacPorts? I don't want to
 have to use X11, the Cocoa backend was working fine before.
