Tslib support in libSDL1.2

Hello,

I use your Debian packages  libsdl1.2-dev und libsdl1.2debian, in order 
to run the webbrowser Netsurf in the framebuffer of a Raspberry 
(Raspian) via SDL.

Now, I'm trying to connect a touchscreen with Tslib. I've already found 
out that the Tslib support is activated by setting the define 
“SDL_INPUT_TSLIB“ in the two files SDL_fbevents.c or SDL_video.h.

I'm not sure whether the Tslib support is compiled in your Debian 
packages, however, I suppose it's not. That would mean that I had to 
newly compile SDL lib. If so, before doing that,  do I  have to 
manipulate the original sourcecode with your Debian patch?

Unfortunately, I'm no Linux or Debian professional and don't know how to 
deal with that issue, yet.
I know, that it's probably too much to ask you to newly compile the SDL 
lib for me, but maybe you could tell me, how I can manipulate the SDL 
sourcecode with your patches and explain the best way to compile the LIB 
for the Raspberry to me?

I'm looking forward to your reply!
Thanks a lot in advance!


Michael
