SDL_ListModes on winCE

SDL Development
1

As of the latest SDL source I’ve looked at (1.2.8), SDL_ListModes
returns -1 on winCE, implying any resolution is valid. Would it not
make more sense to return a mode for the current desktop window size?
Code along the lines of:
resx = GetDeviceCaps(GetDC(NULL), HORZRES);
resy = GetDeviceCaps(GetDC(NULL), VERTRES);
should retrieve the info according to research. (test and verify pending)

Also, when running in windowed mode it may be desired to know the max
window size that’ll fit.

(Actually, I beat you to it…we have a new PocketPC/WinCE driver in CVS
that should support SDL_ListModes correctly, as of yesterday or so.)
