Ps2 is very good at floating point stuff. I think the problem might be the compiler.
This is from Numeric readme and sgi and ps2 have similar cpu.

===> Silicon Graphics bug:
    Due to a bug in the SGI compiler's handling of complex
    variables, you must build your *python* without optimization
    on a certain file. Consult the Python installation instructions
    for the details.

With a monitor I should be able to get higher resolutions.

I haven't touched the Setup file. I'm having problems with python 2.1 not pygame.
I'm looking at the python mailing list to see if I can find something.
