Wops! Thanks, I missed it...

The BeOS fullscreen driver uses the so called "Game Kit", which is a serie of
classes that are used for game programming (gfx and sound mainly). Using this
method you are allowed to set a mode among a list of modes that *the OS*
supports... It may happen that your card doesn't support a specific mode, but
using the game kit you're not allowed to know it before setting the mode. I
may use another non-gamekit method that enumerates the modes, but I'm not
sure if this would return the same list or a more correct one... I'll try!
