reinstalling video card drivers

edit: i wrongly blamed SDL for my badly configured computer. i changed subject to more appropriately describe my problem. perhaps need to move this thread to another forum topic (opengl? lounge?) below is the obsolete ([smile]) post: I recently upgraded to SDL 1.2.9 (from 1.2.7 i think) for some reason SDL_SetVideoMode is failing. checking my flags i found out enabling SDL_OPENGLBLIT makes SetVideo fail. checking the changes log i found that SDL_OPENGLBLIT was changed to SDL_OPENGLBLIT_OBSOLETE, but checking the sdl code there is no sign to SDL_OPENGLBLIT_OBSOLETE (dont you hate it when documentation says something that doesnt exist?) the SDL opengl tutorial in the sdl documentation says that you need to use SDL_OPENGLBLIT when using opengl with sdl... so why did it (supposebly) change to obsolete? maybe the tutorial is obsolete... anyone knows how do you use opengl with sdl this days? thanks in advance, Iftah.

thanks alot :)

after reinstalling the driver from the cd everything works right.
(i now notice it says on the disc cover to first install directX and only then install the drivers, i guess i did it the other way).

sorry i blamed SDL!
and thanks for having patience with a noob like me!
