Re: [pygame] OpenGL + OS X refresh problem

[David Warde-Farley <wardefar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It appears that my problem is caused by an OS X driver issue. Namely, if you
ctrl+C a pygame window that is using OpenGL it will get the driver into a
funk that can only be solved by rebooting. 

It's very strange that it only happens with pygame and not pure PyOpenGL
though. Maybe it has to do with double-buffering or something like that? 

At any rate, it might be worth mentioning in the documentation if you have
some sort of 'troubleshooting' or 'FAQ' page.
