Hmm, I'm not very familiar with X, but the problem might be that the
current version of pygext tries to always get a 32bit display surface
and that might not be possible on your system. You can try editing the
file pygext/gl/base.py line 51 and remove the parameter "32" from the
pygame.display.set_mode call.
