The xdpyinfo output looks exactly as expected. Make sure that the X11
driver was properly built (look at the output from the configure script).

Easiest is probably if you find an IRC client and join the #sdl channel at
irc.openprojects.net; there you will find people who can hand-hold you
to find the problem.

Otherwise, try the following: make sure you have gdb installed.
Go the the sdl test directory and say

  gdb testsprite

and then, when gdb has started,

  b main
  run

gdb will then stop at the beginning of your program. Now say

  b X11_Available
  b X11_CreateDevice

Assuming gdb accepts these commands, say "continue". Hopefully gdb will
stop inside the library in either of these functions. Then type "finish",
possibly several times, until the program exits. Please mail me a
transcript of the entire gdb session.
