Re: [AD] Fullscreen problems on Linux

The point of doing this is to make things work in a cross platform way. 
ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN would always give you the best thing it can for a 
fullscreen display. If you have to start adding new options there's no 
point because the user can just as easily use ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN_WINDOW 
on their own. The whole point is to make ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN give you a 
fullscreen display that behaves exactly the same regardless of if the 
mode is set or if it's scaled behind the scenes by Allegro.
