 ===== Pygame =====
-When running a Pygame app in **SDL_VIDEODRIVER=fbcon**, the SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer library) takes over VT, so the **setterm** command does not work.
+We verified what driver uses the Pygame app:
+<code python>
+import pygame
+pygame.init()
+print(pygame.display.get_driver())
+</code>
+It says **KMSDRM**.
+Using that driver the SDL **Simple DirectMedia Layer** library owns the DRM master, external tools (modetest, sysfs) do not work for blanking the screen. The correct solution is to control this from inside SDL.
