Re: [pygame] Pygame performance on Linux?

["René Dudfield" <renesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

That's *really* slow.  What video card/driver/distribution do you use?
 I think something is wrong with your X setup.

You should be able to do much more than that.

On my really old P3 1 ghz laptop I get 112fps at 800x600 in a window.

import pygame
from pygame.locals import *
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600))
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
going = True
while going:
    events = pygame.event.get()
    for e in events:
        if e.type in [KEYDOWN, QUIT, MOUSEBUTTONDOWN]:
            going = False
    clock.tick()
    pygame.display.flip()
print clock.get_fps()
