Thanks for that Brian!  I found out I had another problem on Friday.  It 
seems that OpenGL isn't working in a window on my auxillary adapters.  The 
scene is frozen and just smears as I move the window around.  I think I'm 
pretty much SOL until the 1.3 version of SDL comes out.  My only other 
choice is DirectX and I really don't want to have to go there if I don't 
have to.

Thanks!
