On a local newsgroup, someone said I need the "dbe" module loaded in order to let SDL to video mode switching. What package provides the dbe module? I'm running Debian 2.2, with the xfree 3.3.6 package. I can't find any relevant dbe files on my system. In fact, I don't even have the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/modules on my computer. Thanks again!
