I assume you mean an offscreen surface, and not a 'framebuffer'. Simply because
I can't see any reason that you'd switch video modes that often.
In which case, you can assign it any non-surface or del it. PySDL shouldn't
segfault when you assign a binding to a new value, and I wasn't able to
reproduce it. If you're finding it segfaults, I'd be interested in seeing how
you're getting it to.
