Yes, I know 1440x900 seems odd but I'm running a wide screen (16x9) flat panel
monitor. X runs beautifully at this resolution. I have other games that use
SDL at 16x9 fullscreen so I don't believe this is an bug in SDL, although I
have also suspected PyGame being at fault. Everything in the Freevo code said
it should work fine. I can tell you that 1024x768, a 4x3 resolution, also
breaks things. Could it actually be that PyGame was designed to run at 800x600
and below??
I'll run this past the PyGame guys and see what they have to say...
Thanks, Duncan!!!

This could be a limitation of pygame/SDL or just a odd screen size.
1440x900 is a bit odd, better would be 1440x1080 as it keeps the same
ratio 4x3. Does the X server run quite happily at 1440x900, if your using X?
Don't really know, when I ran it at 1600x1200, with directfb it worked
fine but ok/cancel box had the buttons on top of each other and not side
by side.
Sorry that I can't help more as I run everything at 720x576.
