I tested on my 8.6 system and it works flawless.
DisplayScreen depth: 16 width: 640 height: 480 fullscreen: false.
I get a primitive failure if I say
DisplayScreen depth: 32 width: 1024 height: 768 fullscreen: false.
because the computer only supports 16 bits at that resolution.
I guess trying anything other than what the computer supports will
cause a prim failure.
As for:
DisplayScreen depth: 16 width: 1023 height: 768 fullscreen: false.
If I set fullscreen to true I get the fullscreen, otherwise in a
smaller than screen size window.
(Which by the way is obscured by the finder menu bar!)
