I have used pygame on a widescreen laptop (1024x600) with no problems at 
all (no hardware opengl on that card)

I suspect that the specific video card is far more likely to be the 
problem than the unusal monitor/desktop size-- especially since this is 
not a full-screen program (I assume not anyway, since you say you 
dragged it)
