It occurred to me that it might be something like that, but I downloaded
the source tarball and I can't find anything in there, or anywhere on
the SDL web site, about compiling with or without support for any
particular drivers (or for that matter about any kind of compilation
options at all). The version I'm using is the SDl-1.2.2-1.i386.rpm from
the main SDL download page. Does that only have support for x11? If so,
how do I get support for anything else? (And why doesn't the download
page warn about this?)
