I've experienced this problem too.
Programs using pylib work fine in a window, but in full-screen mode they
lock up the screen with an "signal input out of range" (sic!). The mode
they're being set to is 800x600. The screen becomes useless - the only
way I can get the display back is by switching to tty1 and killing the X
server.

Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
to make sure that you have the latest version.
libsdl1.2debian-alsa is installed. It appears to be a libsdl problem.
One fix is to hack each pygame application. Find the line saying
"pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600), FULLSCREEN) and remove the
FULLSCREEN bit. This prevents any accidental lock-ups.
Ideally, the X server would refuse to use a setting that doesn't work
with the monitor, but the xorg.conf file is now pretty sparse.
