Hi Further to my previous e-mail trying to run vectoroids (asteroids clone) comes up with vectoroids Error: I could not initialize video! The Simple DirectMedia error that occurred was: Unable to open a console terminal This worked fine in Stretch, so has something has changed between upgrading ? SDL seems to be causing quite a few issues Paul -- Paul Sutton http://www.zleap.net gnupg : 7D6D B682 F351 8D08 1893 1E16 F086 5537 D066 302D https://fediverse.party/ - zleap@social.isurf.ca

SDL seems to be causing quite a few issues You could say that. SDL's "Unable to open a console terminal" message basically says that you do not have an X server running, so SDL program falls back to framebuffer device (/dev/fb*). Which it is unable to open in your case. And the most important buster's change in that aspect is the transition of GNOME session from X to Wayland. So I'd check if XWayland is running, that you have $DISPLAY and $XAUTHORITY defined and all that. Because I just checked that dosbox (which does use SDL) works for me in buster, and I do not use Wayland. Reco
