Are we shipping SDL compiled with DEBUG on?

Hi,

Sorry, I couldn't reply earlier.

Just a conventional cheap gamepad connected to a netbook (amd64).

No, that's not the case for me. There isn't that much joystick
activity so that the game is frozen or anything like that. It's just
that the overload of unwanted debug messages in the console makes it
hard to follow the rest of debugging messages I want so send there.

I didn't have time to give it a proper look yet, but it seems that
Manuel might be right about it being a problem in pygame and not in
SDL itself.

Apparently pygame is not compiled with DEBUG either (well, at least on
i386, I'm using an amd64 and there doesn't seem to be build logs about
it, so the binary was probably uploaded directly by the developers,
but those [3] are the exact kind of messages I'm having problem with.

Greetings and lots of thanks,
Miry
