Actually, this is a better fix...clear the error state once if everything we need loaded; it's more efficient, and works even if the last unnecessary xrandr symbol failed to load. Otherwise, leave the original loadso error, so the end user can find out what symbol failed.

111 >The SDL library is designed to make it easy to write games that run on Linux, *BSD, MacOS, Win32 and BeOS using the various native high-performance media interfaces, (for video, audio, etc) and presenting a single source-code level API to your application. SDL is a fairly low level API, but using it, completely portable applications can be written with a great deal of flexibility.</P
