I have a prototype since december but as we have needed many architecture improvements for merging it...

for what i have seen only d3d8 (not ddraw and  d3d < 8) and partialy opengl (when not using ddraw or windows APIs) have this limitation. This can be fixed easily using ddraw or WIN32 SetMode APIs but its easier for debugging to use windowed mode.
I'll try to send a path for that when debugging not active.

for what you say, I think it use d3d for setting resolution/mode.

well, d3d always use hardware acceleration code (windowed or not)

hmmm, strange. What d3d version use this application ?
How can i test it ?
