I think the reason for that is because q2 uses the position of the mouse
within that space to decide which way you're pointing..
Leaving it at 1024x768 would be curious :)
Also, thats a function of opengl(the full screen "effect") when you
request full screen mode. The only difference is that the opengl driver
is sending everything to your 3dfx card rather than your matrox.
Under Windows, Microsoft's implmentation of OpenGL will check with the
driver to see what it is capable of, and if the card can do it in
hardware, so be it, if it can't, the library will do it in software.
