Have you checked the output of the following command?
"*fbset -i -fb /dev/**fb0*"
Have you tried to force the video driver to fbcon as an environment
variable such as:
*SDL_VIDEODRIVER="fbcon"*
I suppose you could try to force it in your pygame code as such:
*os.putenv('SDL_VIDEODRIVER', 'fbcon')*
Cheers,
Jon
