Hi,

I'm having some problems with SDL.

When its initializing sometimes it hangs. When i do crtl  + alt + F1  
to give me the console output, it says a lot of things, but they are  
very similar:

DirectFB/linux_input: coulnt grab device --> device or resource busy  
(for the mouse)
DirectFB/linux_input: coulnt grab device --> device or resource busy  
(for the speaker)
DirectFB/linux_input: coulnt grab device --> device or resource busy  
(for the keyboard)

I'm using SDLJAVA witch is a binding to SDL, but i think this problem  
is related with SDL, so i decided to ask it here.

Can any one tell me what is going on?

Cheers,

Best regards,

Nuno
