[2.3.1] Slow screen wiping

[NeuralStunner]

I have noticed also that I can't get most letterboxed modes - 960 x 600 is now seemingly nonexistent (and I know I've used it before). I get 960x1280 instead. That's a stretched 4x3 "pixel" size, and it looks very bad.

I generally run windowed (so I can still see the taskbar) and 640x400 is as large as it can go now (without overrunning my 1024x768 desktop) and still be a "vanilla" ratio.

I'm glad the windowed screenwipes work correctly now, I had no idea it would affect the resolutions adversely.

It has nothing to do with the available resolutions. Did you do something with your video driver?

[NeuralStunner]

I updated my drivers some months ago. Maybe I haven't tried 960x600 since then. I should be able to remember these things...

Slow wipe startup times should be fixed now (and hideously slow screenshots, too).

@NeuralStunner: Run the attached program and select your video card under "Direct3D9 Devices". Does it have your missing resolutions listed in Display Modes?

[NeuralStunner]

No, all the 960x_ modes have disappeared. I rolled back the driver long enough to check, nothing 960-ish there either, except as vertical size (1280x960)

I can get 1280x800, which is too large for windowed use, and letterboxed so small in fullscreen I might as well run 640x400 in a window. On the plus side, windowed view transitions look awesome.

Would it be possible at any point to keep separate resolutions for windowed and fullscreen modes? I'd think a window would be more forgiving size-wise.
