[visionegg] Re: mirror displays and screen size

Russ,

Did you figure out anything regarding this issue? I've too have been getting
frustrated with the pygames lack of exposure to window manager/display
features, and have done a little digging (but not much) to see what hooks or
hacks are possible. I'm curious to know if you found any magic.

Thanks,

Simeon
