[pygame] display initialization problems



Hello, List.

I've just recently started trying to work with PyGame and I came across an initial error that I can't seem to find any reference to on google or in past message list discussion, so I thought I'd ask and see if anyone knows.

I have Python 2.3.4 installed along with wxPython2.5-win32-unicode-2.5.3.1 and pygame-1.6.2.win32-py2.3 running on Windows 2000.  The display drivers on my development machine are nv4_disp.dll (6.14.0010.4523, GeForce4 MX)


Python 2.3.4 (#53, May 25 2004, 21:17:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.>>> import pygame
>>> pygame.display.init()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
pygame.error: DirectInput::CreateDevice: Device not registered
>>>


Python 2.3.4 (#53, May 25 2004, 21:17:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

>>> import pygame
>>> pygame.init()

Could someone provide any insight on this or point me to any documentation which will show me what I have done wrong? I was attemping to look through some of the tutorial code, but I couldn't really get too far in the face of this error.  I double checked it, but perhaps I still missed something in the in the setup/install documentation of PyGame? 

Thanks
