[SDL] DGA problem, any one?

[Torsten Giebl]

Hello !

> I press a key.
> (any key will do the trick) I am using a Nvidia GFroce card and DGA mode

> other releases including red hat and Suse! If I turn off DGA then it's OK.

Did you try also testsprite with using DGA ?
What driver do you use ? The Open Source radeon driver
or the commercial NVIDIA driver ?
