SMP and SDL

Anyone notice that all the nice little SDL toys on the 3rdparty CD flicker madly when running SMP (cp /boot/fs/qnxbasesmp.ifs /.boot)?

Just wondering if this is some sort of thread library support issue in SDL (I don’t even know if SDL is mutli-threaded code) for QNX, or points to a kernel issue.

I have not noticed it.

I was thinking a video driver issue with SMP perhaps? I have a Matrox G400.

Possible. I know there was some talk on the QNX newsgroups about a small bug in the matrox driver.

So try VESA driver to discover what buggy SDL or driver.
