Re: [pygame] pygame.display.flip() and framerate

[René Dudfield <renesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's the way drivers act.  Some do vsync, and some don't.

Try using gl_set_attribute with GL_SWAP_CONTROL
http://pygame.org/docs/ref/display.html#pygame.display.gl_set_attribute

That's only available in recent SDL/pygame (SDL 1.2.12 +, and pygame
1.8.x + I think).


cheers,
