pygame fullscreen shifted down but desktop ok

[berarduc]

Describe the bug

rPi4 / 4GB running buster kernel 5.10.17-v71+

installed hyperpixel using 1-line installer (legacy version) running currently in landscape mode using 'hyperpixel4-rotate right' command (but problem manifests itself in 'normal' portrait mode as well).

raspberry desktop looks fine, but when running pygame program that attempts to open a window in fullscreen mode, the window opens up shifted about 1/3 of the way down the y-axis.

What's gone wrong?

uh - I don't know that's why I'm filing a bug :)

as I said desktop looks fine so it appears drivers are working, yet pygame doesn't seem to understand the extents of the screen?

To Reproduce

Simple pygame program to reproduce the effect. This python program starts pygame, opens a screen in fullscreen mode, and then fills it with the color red. You will see the red does not cover the entire screen rather top part is black:

import pygame from pygame import FULLSCREEN def main(): pygame.init() screen = pygame.display.set_mode([0,0],FULLSCREEN) screen.fill((0xff,0,0)) pygame.display.flip() dummy - input("waiting so you can see the display - hit CR to exit") pygame.exit() main()

Your HyperPixel 4

1. Is it Square or Rectangular? --> Using rectangular hyperpixel4
2. Touch or non Touch? --> touch enabled and working
3. Approximately when was it purchased ---> purchased over a year ago at least
4. How is it connected to your Pi ---> via GPIO (is there any other way? )

*Your Raspberry Pi

1. What model of Raspberry Pi are you using (the result of cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Revision can tell us this exactly cat/proc/cpuinfo:

3. Which OS release are you using: lsb_release --description and uname -r uname -r: 5.10.17-v71+ lsb_release --description: Raspian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)

4. Is this a fresh OS setup, or one you might have previously installed scripts/add-ons on? --> fresh install. ran sudo apt-get update also.

Extra debugging information

If you're having a problem with touch, try checking dmesg for related errors: --> NO problems with touch.
