Hi,

after I got the setup of allegro on my Laptop with OpenSuse 10.2 running and the setup.c program out of the allegro directory compiled there is another prooblem I need help on:
After starting the setup, that has been compiled errorfree, the screen of ma laptop gets dark, the rectangle appears with the buttons, but the the system freezes:
No Mouse, no keyboard, nothing works. It needs a power-on-off reboot to get the system up and running again.

When I take a very easy program like:

#include <allegro.h>

int main(){

   allegro_init();
  install_keyboard();
  set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT , 640, 480, 0, 0);
  putpixel(screen,160,100,30);

  allegro_exit();
  return 0;

}
END_OF_MAIN();

same result, except no rectangle and buttons.

I wanted to verify the allegro-code on the Laptop, before I let it run on the target device.

Any hints on that problem ? I can provide all data, if needed.

Best regards
Bertram

What version of allegro do you use ?

I experienced the same problem with an old version. Try to update to the latest allegro version and be sure that you have uninstalled the whole old before upgrading.

HI,
I am using 4.2.1 and it is the first version I have on my PC.
There are no former versions to be deinstalled.

Did Allegro compile with X11 support?
