Re: SDL failed to initialize the video subsystem.

Thank you very much gapan, I shall try your advice when I get back to the computer. I am currently running the application from the command-line thus: mono /opt/openbve/OpenBVE.exe Is it possible to chain multiple commands like this: SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 mono /opt/openbve/OpenBVE.exe Or do I need to ...

SDL failed to initialize the video subsystem.

Re: Salix Xfce 14.0RC2

Sorry - I'm still a bit of a newbie to Slackware. Had a busy few weeks breaking distros and learning lots! Come on... refresh the package cache first... I did "slapt-get --update" as root, a couple of times. Is there something else needed to force a refresh? There are no other repositories...
