[SDL] all SDL apps require ^C to start before rendering [fbcon, Linux]

[joseph at cheek.com]

Hi all,

I've compiled libsdl to render to the framebuffer in Linux [vesafb, linux
2.6.17] and things are fine... almost.  All SDL apps I've tried [many of the
demos from libsdl.org site] wait for a ^C before they start any rendering.

I haven't done lots of investigating, and I'd thought I would ask if this is a
known issue before hunting down the offending lines in the code [this happens
on over a dozen different SDL demos I have tried].
