SDL Development

Hi. I’m trying to use SDL with the framebuffer console, using the vesafb
drivers. I’m able to see the little penguin logo when booting, so I’m
assuming I’m doing it right.
Now, when trying to initialize SDL, can’t find any available video device.

Why’s that?

Regards,

Carlos

most likely, your SDL library lacks framebuffer support. recompile SDL.
