from the Pygame Introduction: Pygame is a Python extension library
that wraps the SDL library and it's helpers. So you mean, Pygame can
run without X?

BTW I have nothing against X, I just have not experiences on the GUI
field, so my feeling was it can run faster without X on the 500MHz AMD
Geode CPU.
