Re: [pygame] Pygame and windows managers
Have you tried reporting a bug to them? Sounds like an distro/OS level problem.

[pygame] Pygame and windows managers
Hi, I am currently using pygame on a xandros linux based eee pc. When I run pygame.init() and then pygame.display.info() I get that the system in not compatible with a windows manager. I know that it is because I can open other stuff in windows within the OS. Any ideas what could be going on?

Re: [pygame] Pygame and windows managers
It looks like your eee pc is using directfb or some sort rather than standard x11. fbcon = framebuffer console maybe? Not sure. I did some googling and found some reports of people having trouble in this regard, with other reports of it working. By the way, have you tried skipping the display.info and just trying to use pygame anyway? Also an actual error log might be helpful.
Re: [pygame] Pygame and windows managers
Thanks for the response, I have tried just using pygame regardless. I only actually found out about the info stuff while trying to debug problems. The actual problem I am having is that the only mode that pygame seems to see is 640X480 even though the screen in the eee pc can do 1200X800 and I am using it with an external display and I need it to do 1360X768 which is outputting just fine with other applications.
