Quake2 is not a directx game unless you're running in software mode.
Its an OpenGL application. Yes, there are rather large differences.
//Windowed mode
bind f10 "+windowed"
alias +windowed "vid_fullscreen 0; bind f10 -windowed"
alias -windowed "vid_fullscreen 1; bind f10 +windowed"
Thats what I use to go from a window to full screen and vice versa.
BTW, the G200 has a wrapper for q2 that translates opengl calls to d3d
calls. I can't guarantee that the above will work.
BTW, it needs to go into a custom .cfg file, aliases are stored on quit.
