Re: [pygame] Pygame performance on Linux?

I have a Linux machine, with a CPU speed of supposedly

abysmal. Just doing display flips and nothing else,
with an 800x6000 window, it can't get to 20fps. At
10fps, it's using about 75% CPU.
Sounds like you might not be running hardware acceleration. What video card are you using? If you have the antinspect xscreensaver try running it directly as 
antinspect -fps
What frames per sec do you get? Hardware acceleration should give you around 50fps in the initial 600x480 window, and not a lot slower when the window is maximised (maybe 45fps).
