Hmm, Frank your quite correct, wonder why I had set it, must have been
trying something out.
I eventually managed to reproduce the crash caused by
pygamesurface_imlib2_scale, it doesn't get called when the geometry is
720x576, when I changed this to 1024x768 it crashed. So it would seem
that the best setting when connecting to a tv is 720x576 or the ntsc
equivalent.
