$video_info->hw_available() # 1 if Hardware Accelerated Surfaces available
Is it possible to create hardware surfaces ?
wm_available
$video_info->wm_available() # 1 if Window Manager available
Is there a window manager available ?
blit_hw
$video_info->blit_hw()
Are hardware to hardware blits accelerated ?
blit_hw_CC
$video_info->blit_hw_CC()
Are hardware to hardware colorkey blits accelerated ?
blit_hw_A
$video_info->blit_hw_A()
Are hardware to hardware alpha blits accelerated ?
blit_sw
$video_info->blit_sw()
Are software to hardware blits accelerated ?
blit_sw_CC
$video_info->blit_sw_CC()
Are software to hardware colorkey blits accelerated ?
blit_sw_A
$video_info->blit_sw_A()

vfmt
my $vd_pixel_format = $video_info->vfmt();
"SDL::PixelFormat" of the video device
current_w, current_h
$video_info->current_w();
$video_info->current_h();
