SDL_EnableKeyRepeat problems

SDL Development
1

Hello!
I (and a couple of friends who tested my example) seem to have problems with SDL_EnableKeyRepeat in SDL 1.2.4.
The first time i use it my program it works fine, but the second time it makes no changes.

I hacked up a small test to show this…it is possible my code is broken, if so please tell me what Im doing wrong:

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
SDL_Surface *screen;
SDL_Event event;
int quit=0, swap=0, check=0;

if(SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO | SDL_INIT_AUDIO)<0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Could not initialize SDL: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
    exit(1);
}
atexit(SDL_Quit);

screen=SDL_SetVideoMode(320, 200, 8, SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_DOUBLEBUF);
if(screen==NULL) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Could not set video mode: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
    exit(1);
}    

while(quit!=1) {
    if(swap==0) {
        check=SDL_EnableKeyRepeat(SDL_DEFAULT_REPEAT_DELAY, SDL_DEFAULT_REPEAT_INTERVAL);
        if(check==-1) {
            fprintf(stderr, "Could not set key repeat values: %s\n", SDL_GetError());                            
            exit(1);
        }
        if(SDL_PollEvent(&event)) {
            if(event.type==SDL_KEYDOWN) {
                printf("key: %d\n", event.key.keysym.sym);
                if(event.key.keysym.sym==SDLK_SPACE) {
                    printf("switching to faster key repeate\n");
                    swap=1;
                }
                else if(event.key.keysym.sym==SDLK_ESCAPE)
                    quit=1; 
            }
        }
    }
    else {
        check=SDL_EnableKeyRepeat(1, 1);
        if(check==-1) {
            fprintf(stderr, "Could not set key repeat values: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
            exit(1);
        }
        if(SDL_PollEvent(&event)) {
            if(event.type==SDL_KEYDOWN)
            {
                printf("key: %d\n", event.key.keysym.sym);
                if(event.key.keysym.sym==SDLK_SPACE) {
                    printf("switching to default key repeat\n");
                    swap=0;
                }
                else if(event.key.keysym.sym==SDLK_ESCAPE)
                    quit=1;
            }
        }
    }
}
exit(0);

}

switch mode with space and exit with esc.
it should make keys repeat very fast if you hold a key down when mode=1. This does not happen (where I’ve tried it).

Thanks

PS. Im not a member of the SDL list, so could you please cc to me?
PS2. If this issue is related to my crappy code or has been resolved in the current CVS, I appologize. Please tell me if that is the case though :)–
