  40
  41         If wxDefaultVideoMode is passed in as the mode parameter, the defined
  42         behaviour is that wxDisplay will reset the video mode to the default
  43         mode used by the display. On Windows, the behavior is normal. However,
  44         there are differences on other platforms. On Unix variations using X11
  45         extensions it should behave as defined, but some irregularities may
  46         occur.
  47
  48         On wxMac passing in wxDefaultVideoMode as the mode parameter does
  49         nothing. This happens because carbon no longer has access to
  50         @c DMUseScreenPrefs(), an undocumented function that changed the video
  51         mode to the system default by using the system's "scrn" resource.
