hmm, i don't suspect this is directly a pygame problem, but more SDL 
related. have you tried running regular SDL apps remotely? i would 
suspect you get the same problem?

if not there must be something 'funny' in the way pygame is 
communicating with SDL. if we need to, i'll translate your quick liner 
into a small C program making the exact SDL calls that pygame makes.
