Well, you're definitely setting the hardware surface and OpenGL flags
correctly because it's looking for both. Looking at it again, it does
seem that the only thing wrong is the lack of an available SDL surface;
Are you definitely setting the surface pointer with

SDL_Surface *surfacename;

and setting the videomode with

surfacename=SDL_SetVideoMode(X, Y, BPP, flags);

?
