hmm, works fine for me, in my comments i did mess up, to do full screen it 
should be 
screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(800,600,16,SDL_FULLSCREEN); not 
screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(800,600,16,1);

what version of sdl did you use ??
how did you compile it, i called my file test.c and compiled it like this:

gcc test.c -o test `sdl-config --cflags --libs`

**notice that the ` are backticks to the left of the number one and on the 
same key as the ~
