Well generally people use 640x480 or 800x600, the former being pretty
small on the XO screen. Hardware scaling would fix this, but thats still
a ways off from what I hear. I spoke to Marco a bit yesterday and the
general conclusion was instead of using something like pygame, it would
probably be better to build a more "game"-friendly (where game applies
to much of the edutainment software that need writing) API on top of the
existing GTK/Hippo/Cairo. I am going to start playing with this, and
I'll report back when I have a better idea of how well it will work.
