hey Pete,
It might be a change for with a different version of Pygame. I never
thought that passing (0, 0) for the resolution would work. I suppose before
it was using a default resolution for you. (Though the fullscreen mode
stretches the display sometimes, if you give it a small resolution. I'm not
sure about the specific details though.) I'd go ahead and just pass (1280,
1024), since I think it is idea to pass an actual resolution.
Alternatively, after executing import pygame and pygame.init(), you can
check the value in pygame.display.Info().current_w and
pygame.display.Info().current_h
for the current screen resolution, and then pass these values to
set_display(). Then the program will run at the current resolution no
matter what computer it is run on.

Hello,
I have a python application that I have written with pygame that used to
work
fine. However, on upgrading to slackware 14 I get the following error:
pygame.error: Cannot set 0 sized display mode
Slackware uses SDL 1.2.14 - so I cannot see why I am getting that error.
The
offending line of code, which used to work fine is:
self.window = pygame.display.set_mode((0,0),pygame.FULLSCREEN)
It is fine if I pass a resolution of (1280,1024), my screen resolution. I
note however that later in the program an object created with
pygame.display.info fails - current_w does not exist. Any idea what is
wrong,
or better still, how I may fix it?
