Description Daniel Thaler 2008-02-29 14:01:40 UTC 
calling SDL_SetVideoMode in response to an SDL_VIDEORESIZE event causes flicker, because this call not only sets the new mode but also refreshes the screen with a black surface.
When the user the drags the edge of the window, the repeated switch between the game's graphics and the black surface appear as flicker.
