Most relevant info follows.

"Here's the exact code that will duplicate the problem:

int main(int argc, char**argv)
{
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
SDL_SetVideoMode(1024, 768, 32, SDL_FULLSCREEN | SDL_ANYFORMAT | SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_DOUBLEBUF);
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}

Here's output of "dmesg | grep radeon":

I'm using linux kernel 2.6.16.27 (built using LFS 6.2 and jhalfs). I've added a few items from blfs like nfs + dependencies, along with inetd servers.

Like always, any help is appreciated... now onto my V4L Hauppauge ImpactVCB issue :-)."
