Just a quick note to say that since my gp2x got stolen at a gig, I haven't
maintained that port. Sounds like you are experiencing an issue with the pygame
port though. Do other pygame programs work? Is it compatible with the latest
versions of SDL that ships with gp2x?

I might be able to help you debug it remotely.

Note: gp2xPd is 99.999% PDa, and hence almost entirely the work of Gunter
Geiger. My only contribution is the simple pygame based GUI.

Chris.
