Description nathan.open 2010-06-28 15:36:12 UTC 
When i wanna run any sdl program using video (all my sdl app. in fact), i get this error : "SDL_SetVideoMode: Resource temporarily unavailable" returned by perror in my error managment.

I tried to use SDL_HWSURFACE and SDL_SWSURFACE to use another kind of memory but without success.

Thank you for your bug report!

We're busy working on getting SDL 1.3 ready for a high quality release, and want to make sure as many things are fixed there as possible.
Could you check to see if your bug is resolved by the latest SDL 1.3 snapshot?
