Hi Ryan

I think this information is good enough for me to locate where the problem is.

But next few days I have bit of traveling, as soon as I'm settle, I'll dig to the bottom of this problem. Pls give me few days.

If anyone is interested to try the latest SDL 1.3 on FreeBSD, may use the attached patch.

Best regards
