The white screen has nothing, and as soon as i touch any button or the joystick, it boots me out to the gp2x main menu. 
 
I haven't tried other pygame ports, but I somewhat assume it is a problem with the way I installed pygame.  All I did was unzip the pygame_beta1 zip file and copy/pasted the python folder to my root on the sd card.  Do I have to make a script or something? Also, there are some zipped files within the python/lib folder.  Do I have to unzip those as well?  And if I do, do I just let them dump in the lib folder, or in a sub-folder in ./lib with the same name as the zip files? 
Just now, I put the testgame1.py and testgame2.py into my root folder to try pygame out.  A blackscreen with an offsset red square came up on the screen until I pushed a button, then I got booted out.  Any advice from this point?
 
I'd put in US$10 for that new gp2x if you could figure out this problem for me!

Hmmm, does your patch contain GUI elements, Matthew? If not, my very crap
parser may well be b0rking. Try putting a numberbox in your patch.
