Linux 2.6.17.13, GCC 4.1.1, GLIBC 2.4, Xorg 7.1, nvidia beta 9625 drivers.
If i give any SDL 1.3 svn head app focus… the entire screen just turns
black. Once it loses focus everything comes back. Things do appear in
the SDL window. Haven’t downgraded the nvidia drivers yet to test that.

I have the same with the latest stable NVidia drivers. Very broken.

I hope it didn’t sound too harsh or even negative. I know perfectly well
that it is far from finished and that one shouldn’t expect SDL-1.3 to work
perfectly out of the box everywhere 
Anyway, some more info :
This was using gcc 4.0.1 in 32bit mode on a 64bit distro. Kernel 2.6.12
compiled with SMP on ( and a dual core CPU to go with it of course ), Xorg
6.9 and NVIDIA 8756.
Despite all that, multi window works perfectly as long as no SDL window has
the focus.
Weird thing : even with the SDL app frozen ( CTRL+Z on the shell that
launched the app ), I still get a full black screen when any SDL window
gets the focus, or in fullscreen.
Also, keyboard doesn’t work. For example, in testalpha, mouse events work,
but I can quit using the keyboard.
And last, here is the result of testvidinfo if it can help.
$ ./testvidinfo
