To fully support it, there's more needed than a "little" magic. That
primitive is for switching to a different video mode with the given
resolution and depth. I guess to switch back to windowed mode the
fullscreen flag would be false, and width/height/depth ignored.
Could SqC confirm this? It's a DirectX game thing I suppose. Andreas?

A trivial implementation with X is this:

/* ioSetDisplayMode: switch to specified videomode
 * Note: we ignore depth and fullscreenFlag for now because to
 *       change it we would have to do use the XF86VidMode extension
 *       or something similar not cross-platform ...
 */
int ioSetDisplayMode(int width, int height, int depth, int fullscreenFlag)
{
  XResizeWindow(stDisplay, stWindow, width, height);
  return 1;
}

It just resizes the window. It does not touch savedWindowSize. It ignores 
the other fullscreen logic (prim 233). The third fullscreen logic
(the global fullScreen) is only in effect at startup anyway.  ~8-}
