Deleted a call to X__PumpEvents at the end of X11_GL_InitExtensions(). This function is being called from SDL_RecreateWindow at a point when the numwindows value in is incorrect. The result is that an illegal access is being made in X_PumpEvents when it tries to look up the windows ID of the source of an event. Taking out that call does not seem to have any effect on the testgl. But, I would be happy if someone else took a look at this problem and found a fix higher up the stack.

>SDL provides several cross-platform functions for dealing with time.
It provides a way to get the current time, a way to wait a little while,
and a simple timer mechanism.  These functions give you two ways of moving an
object every x milliseconds:

<P

><UL
><LI
><P
>Use a timer callback function.  This may have the bad effect that it runs in a seperate thread or uses alarm signals, but it's easier to implement.</P
></LI
><LI

>Or you can get the number of milliseconds passed, and move the object if, for example, 30 ms passed.</P
