I'm not sure if this is really answering your question, but when I've
had to pass properties to pygame that I would have normally passed via
glutInit() I've use the functions pytame.display.set_mode() or
pygame.display.gl_set_attribute() methods:
http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/pygame_display.html#set_mode
http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/pygame_display.html#gl_set_attribute
for example:
pygame.display.gl_set_attribute(pygame.locals.GL_STENCIL_SIZE, 8)
So you should be able to set the double buffering flag this way,
although I believe it is turned on (by VisionEgg?) by default.
Best,
Simeon
