Re: [pygame] pygame crashing after a few seconds

["Brian Fisher" <brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since 1.8.1's release, there have already been 2 problems fixed with forcing VIDEODRIVER back to the SDL default of windib, one of which is a driver crash resulting in a reboot another is a keyboard input thing - it makes me wonder if SDL made the right choice for the default, and pygame shouldn't be messing with the default VIDEODRIVER on XP after all?

Though I am unfamiliar with the book I can still make on suggestion. Try setting the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable to windib before running any examples. From the dos prompt:

set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib

for my complete confusion, this worked.
where can I read more about it, so I'll understand what I just did?

Thanks!
