Description Albert Zeyer 2009-07-21 08:03:04 UTC 
Hi,

We got this crash report:

sdl_dx5events.c  	163  	DX5_DInputInit(void)
sdl_dx5events.c 	891 	DX5_CreateWindow(void)
sdl_dx5video.c 	914 	DX5_VideoInit(struct SDL_PixelFormat * vformat = <Memory access error>)
sdl_video.c 	240 	SDL_VideoInit(char * driver_name = 0x00fa5b50 "directx", unsigned int flags = 0)
sdl.c 	71 	SDL_InitSubSystem(unsigned int flags = 0x5944c5)
sdl.c 	162 	SDL_Init(unsigned int flags = 0x5944c5)

I guess this is some bug in SDL. Perhaps some error-check is missing there or something.

It looks like it's crashing in in DINPUT.DLL, somewhere under DirectInputCreateA(). This is usually flakey drivers.

There's probably nothing that will fix this, short of a system reinstall or using SDL's windib target instead of DirectX.
