Bug 1084

Summary: SDL_SetVideoMode crashes
Product: SDL Reporter: roger.levy
Component: videoAssignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2 CC: johnnyc.wilson
Version: HG 2.0   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Windows (XP)   

Description roger.levy 2010-12-08 11:04:56 UTC 
I keep getting an access violation and I am certain it's from the call to SDL_SetVideoMode.  On my Windows 7 machine, the same code works fine.  The Windows XP system specs are:

# Processor : Intel® Pentium® M Processor 735 (1.70GHz1, 2MB L2 cache)
# Front Side Bus Speed : 400MHz
# Chipset : Intel® 855PM
# Graphics : ATI Mobility™ Radeon® 9700 64MB Video RAM DDR SDRAM

And here are my driver details:

Vendor    : ATI Technologies Inc.
Renderer  : MOBILITY RADEON 9700 x86/SSE2
Version   : 1.5.4204 WinXP Release

I just confirmed that it wasn't my code - reverted to a DLL I built from source dated 11.20.2010 and the access violation went away.

This is probably the same bug I reported a few days ago. It's been fixed.
