Hi, list. has anyone developed with sdl, simple direct media layer, from libsdl.org? I tried writing a simple game in c using sdl, and I get the following error. Unable to initialize SDL: No available video device Ok, since sdl is basically a graphical X tool is there a way to use it on the shell? A way to get some sort of virtual frame buffer going? If sdl is out of the question any alternatives to this? I am trying to find something does what directx does in Windows, but not require me being in X-windows. [
