Thanks for the response,

I have tried just using pygame regardless. I only actually found out
about the info stuff while trying to debug problems.

The actual problem I am having is that the only mode that pygame seems
to see is 640X480 even though the screen in the eee pc can do 1200X800
and I am using it with an external display and I need it to do 1360X768
which is outputting just fine with other applications.

Found by google, seems that this person has managed to setting pygame in the eeepc, maybe you can ask him:

A link from him also points to a page about how to configure the xandros display for certain resolutions:
