Hello all,

After installing SyncTerm on an AWS EC2 instance running Amazon Linux 2, which is based on RHEL, I get this message:

SDL Video Initialization Failed

The installation succeeded and I believe I have the correct dependencies:

$ sudo yum install gcc
$ sudo yum install patch
$ sudo yum install ncurses-devel
$ sudo yum install SDL2-devel 

Do I also need to install a video card driver or something? I do not know a ton about this but I get the feeling that my EC2 instance - Amazon's version of a ephemeral virtual machine - lacks some component or driver associated with SDL2..?

Thanks for your help!
