What is the correct procedure to enable hardware acceleration?
I am finding pygame so slow I am considering a return to Windows andDirectX for an upcoming project.

SDL usually only does hardware acceleration when in fullscreen modes.Also, I think recent version of SDL have switched to not using DirectXby default on Windows, so you may have to addos.environ["SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER"] = "directx" before you initializeanything for Pygame.
