The 7" LCD is a TV set being fed through a VGA->composite device. I was

software-only rendered.
Is there any rotation, scaling or coloring? Any shader effects? cause if
you are just blitting images, it would probably be a piece of cake to adapt
what you have to use pygame/sdl's software rendering, and then the opengl
context thing is no problem.
It's very simple graphically. Here's the project screenshot page:

You can download the software (requires pyopengl and pygame of course) and
run it in it's default TEST mode that doesn't require a running simulator
to talk to:http://rjglass.sourceforge.net/index.shtml - providing you want
to see what it looks like "live". :)
My biggest roadblock at this point is my extremely poor grasp of graphics
in general. I'm a database geek by trade. :)
