Thanks. I had a look through the SDL tutorials, and compiled example 2.8
on this page http://sdldoc.csn.ul.ie/guidevideoopengl.php

When executed, it opened a window that just froze on my Centrino laptop.
I tried the same binary on two other machines, and it worked in both
cases. That's unfortunate because I do most of my work on my laptop.
