SDL not running anymore!

DanEE · 2003-10-31 22:34:25

Since the last update of SDL my SDL-games and packages suddenly don't run anymore! If I try to run a SDL application I get this error:

Unable to initialize SDL: Unable to open a console terminal

Are there others with the same problem or am I the only one with this problem (which would mean I have made something wrong... ;-) )

I have the same problem :

lrbeakout2:
Fatal STK Error!

toppler:
Assertion failure: could not open display

pinball:
Couldn't initialize SDL videoNo available video device

rockdodger:
Cannot start: 'No available video device'

*** tuxracer error: Couldn't initialize SDL: No available video device

I have a Voodoo3 card (16bit color depth) if that is of any help.
