I had a friend try my game on a dual monitor system once, and it

support dual monitors, so there was no way to make it work short of
extending SDL.
My experience was that pygame.display.list_modes() returned the
dual-head desktop as the largest mode (2048x768), which then caused an
SDL crash if I tried to pass it to pygame.display.set_mode with the
FULLSCREEN flag.
Single-head modes (1024x768 or lower) work just fine, but you get the
same picture on both monitors.

I guess it depends on how your video card is configured.
When using set_mode with FULLSCREEN, it shows fullscreen on the
'primary' screen on mine (and on a friend's).
If you set your video card to 'span' across two screens, I think it
should be able to use the combined resolution (both screens as one
surface) without crashing.
