fixed a misbehavior in the clear code that causes depth clear problems in reference hardware (Intel as example).
add 6 parameters to optimize Safe Texture Cache:
SafeTextureCacheColorSamples, SafeTextureCacheIndexedSamples, SafeTextureCacheTlutSamples:
this 3 parameters gives the number of samples taken to calculate the final hash value, less samples = more speed, more samples = more accuracy
if 0 is specified the hash is calculated using all the data in the texture.
SafeTextureCacheColorMaxSize, SafeTextureCacheIndexedMaxSize, SafeTextureCacheTlutMaxSize:
this parameters limits the amount of data used for the hash calculation, it could appear as redundant but in some games is better to make a full hash of the first bytes instead of some samples of all the texture.
color, indexed, tlut : define the texture type, full color data, indexed, and the tlut memory.
the parameters are available in the config , no GUI at this time, if the test are OK will add it to the GUI.
if someone needs it will give more examples on how to configure the values for specific games.

A few things could be solved differently/in a better way, but that would involve some classes and stuff (plus work)

This changes the dependency in linux from libxxf86vm-dev to libxrandr-dev.
Use Alt-Return to toggle fullscreen mode (as in windows).

Removed X event loops from GCPad and Wiimote plugins, and implemented an asynchronous check for keyboard and mouse buttons.
Also added an X event loop in core that handles events while the emulator is paused. Prevents unexpected behavior from events that occur while the emulator is paused.
Now there is only one event loop running at a time (besides those hidden in SDL).
I will revert this commit if other devs are unhappy with it.

sorry to tell but this will bring a speed drop, so let you decide if this change stay or not.( used the fastest open source hash algorithm i know)
do not apply full hashing to other format because it kills the performance.
for popular request added 9x SSAA believe me will kill your graphic card even if is the best but the image quality is exceptional.
as always please test and let me know the results.

implement proper window handling (d3d/sw) which i believe fixes a hang that occurs when a game is stopped (plz test this :)) + some minor stuff

This now enables/disables the slider, depending on chosen Backend. Linux and OSX can now also use the slider to change the Volume of OpenAL. Other Backends do not support Volume changes.

emulator. Also added the ability to close the emulator with the escape key.
Fixed an issue that caused a segmentation fault when trying to close the
emulator when running in fullscreen mode, which can also be done using the
escape key. This makes fullscreen mode useable in linux!

Bit of cleanup/grouping, control creation is now a bit more separate from value setting and tooltip assignment which IMO cluttered the code as it was.
Removed something from main.cpp that looked like a hack to me.
Fixes Issue 2229

reverted a tiny leftover of my safe texture cache commit
D3D
renamed the SSAA modes to use samples as MSAA now they are 2,25x and 4x.
OpenGL:
fixed a nasty logical bug introduced in 4984 that causes efb corruption when efb to texture is used
re enabled shader caching as it was not producing errors.
fixed efb misalignment caused by integer rounding still a bit misaligned but many games will look better now
git-svn-id: https://dolphin-emu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5020 8ced0084-cf51-0410-be5f-012b33b47a6e
there are only to SSAA modes 1.5x and 2x as they give the best result.
please test and let me know the results

improve speed a little in games that have large viewports.
please test and let me know the results

true antialiasing using supersampling:
3 modes implemented:
2x = is a one and a half samples supersampled buffer with a linear texture fetch, this produce a similar result of a 2x MSAA
4x = four samples with a aligned texture fetch in the center of the 4 samples, this produce a little best effect that the first mode.
8x = is a four samples with a rotated grid fetching producing a nicer (really nicer in some cases) antialiasing.
please test an let me know if you like this :)
i remember to everyone that supersampling is expensive so don't complain in speed drops :)

chage the global format of the screenshots to bmp, is correctly supported by both plugins and is faster.
reverted the changes in safe texture cache, will try to make them more stable then commit them, this should fix compilation in linux and macand error introduced in MP games
corrected all the issues commented by ector, thanks for the comments alway is good that the code is revised by others to find missed spots.
please report any remaining issue to solve them.

first fixed scaling when updating backbuffer to make it friendly with encoders, now frame dumping must work without errors in any codec.
clean screenshot and frame dumping code now is more correct, faster and stable.
improve safe texture cache, improving the distribution of the hash algorithm, including tlut hash in the final hash of the texture, and making use of a 64 bit hash to make it more accurate.
clean a lot of code and corrected some missused vertex formats when drawing full screen quads.
and biggest change last:
implemented pseudo antialiasing: a image post-process algorithm that mimics antialiazing and is fare more easier to implement in this scenario.
you can change the intensity of the effect changing the values of the antialiasing combo. the right value depends on the game.
for example mkwii looks awesome with 8x.
please try all the changes and let me know the results.
if something is broken, please let me know and will fix it asap.

Hopefully this doesn't break builds on Macs. I have tested this on linux and windows.

The problem is that there is no cheap method to do communications between two DLLs that employ the same device.

rewrite frame dumping and screen shots to make them more stable and correct
enable viewport resizing for all cards, the emulation is more correct in this way
test this a lot please.

Unfortunately the mouse pointer doesn't match up very well with the IR pointer yet.
Also, I had to add the PointerMotionMask to XSelectInput which adds overhead to the already stressed X event loops. Five event loops by my count, really?
