[SDL] SDL_SetVideoMode not working

[Edward Byard]

Hi Folks,

I've setup SDL according to a tutorial (I've used SDL before, but removed it from my system awhile back) and now it doesn't work.
A test program compiles fine, so all my libraries are in the right place and all settings are correct.

When I call SDL_Init there are no errors, but on calling     

ScrDisplay = SDL_SetVideoMode( SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, SCREEN_BPP, SDL_HWSURFACE );

SrcDisplay remains NULL so what's going on?? My video card supports hw surfaces, 4 bpp and a standard 800x600 res so I can't see any problems on a hardware level...

I've recently installed the DirectX sdk and tools from Microsoft....could this have screwed things up??

Many Thanks
Ed
