[SDL] Screen blanks during SetInit

[Alvin]

Hello all,

When I call SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO), my screen momentarily blanks. I've tried 
googling, but all I get are hits relating to image flickering. That's not 
what is happening. When I call SDL_Init(), my LCD screen blanks, then comes 
back. Other than that, everything seems to be working.

I don't think this is an SDL bug, but I it only happens with apps that use SDL 
or when I use SDL in my apps.

Has this happened to anyone on the list? If so, how did you resolve the issue?

The system I'm developing on is:

openSUSE 10.2 32-bit
Dell Dimension E521 woth Dell 19" LCD 1907FP
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ with 1GB RAM
ATI Radeon X1300 Pro 256MB PCI-Express with ATI Driver 8.32.5


Thanks,

Alvin
