Pi Display and pygame

[walter_1]

Hello,
I have the official Pi-display and try to use it with python and pygame as I am more familiar with pygane than kivy.
I have some program snippets which worked fine with an faytech 7" display. (I should mention that I don't want a X-environment). These snippets don't work in my actual configuration using the "kivypie" distribution.
whne I start my program I get the following error

Code: Select all

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800 , 480))
pygame.error: Unable to open a console terminal

After some investigation on the net I found that there is no approbiate "driver" for pygame to talk with. After some more reading I found myself helpless with things like kernel, firmware and so on.

Is someone out there who got pygame work with Raspberry Pi 2B and the official display or knows a "simple solution"?
BTW The kivy demo works fine. But I would like to use pygame, not learning a new programming technique.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have taken the plunge with kivy, however I am sure I got pygame to work with it previously.
Can you post all of your program up until that screen line - I am sure there are some environmental settings that need to be applied.
I will compare and respond later when I am at home.
