I have a very simple program, in which I am initialising with SDL_Init(flags) and using SDL_SetVideoMode but It fails by returning null.

I think I am missing some config parameters/options, if any one knows about this erro please let me know.

My code is as below :

if(SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO | SDL_INIT_AUDIO | SDL_INIT_TIMER)) { fprintf(stderr, "Could not initialize SDL\n"); exit(1); }

    screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 0, 0);

if(!screen) { fprintf(stderr, "SDL: could not set video mode - exiting\n"); exit(1); }

How can I get the palette of an 8-bit surface in SDL.NET/Tao.SDL?

This is because I want to do palette swapping with the palette directly, instead of blitting surfaces together to replace colours like how you would do it with a 32-bit surface. I've gotten… >>> More
