I think 1.6 has the GL_MULTISAMPLEBUFFERS stuff.  It didn't make it in 
until the latest sdl release.

Some people have been trying to get wxpython and pygame working, I'm 
sure they'd be happy to hear how you did it :)

OPENGLBLIT is useless don't bother with it.  Check out glSDL, it is a 
little better.


Cheers big ears.
