SDL_FillRect not doing anything

SDL Development
1

heya,
I want to clear the display surface, so i call:

if ( SDL_FillRect(	SDL_GetVideoSurface(),
			NULL,
			SDL_MapRGB(	SDL_GetVideoSurface()->format,
					0, 0, 0) ) != 0 )
{
	fprintf( stderr, "Couldn\'t clear the surface.\n" );
	bail( );
}

with bail printing errors and exiting the program via exit()

trouble is; nothing happens, the call seems to go fine, but nothing results from
it … i’m not double buffered, and i’v been checkin all my previous errors …
so any advice?

cheers
-peter

maybe you’re missing a SDL_Flip() call …++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

i don’t think thats likely because;

  1. i’m not using double buffering
  2. its already bliting an image fine …

i’v actualy tried using flip() since i first tried responding to this post …
