Can't Init SDL : no available video device

SDL Development

Hi Everybody!

I have this error message constantly appearing:
Can?t Init SDL : no available video device

I?m running a debian linux with Xfree86 Server and KDE.

I?ve set the environment variable SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11

Is anyone familiar with that error message and what to do about it?

Thanks in advance

Make sure you are using the sdl that comes with debian, libsdl1.2debian-all-*
(* being all, arts, esd, or oss.) Also, dont set an environment variable for
the driver if you are going to use the x11 driver: its already default.On 12-Jan-2003, Aleksandar Mihajlovic wrote:
