Hi,

The subject of the patch should be a but more describing what it 
actually does (and include the dll/module it's touching).

Another thing is that these kind of changes need tests. You can extend 
the current tests quite easily.

I don't know anything about these modes (or if the combinations I show 
below actually make sense) but 2 quick tests on Windows 2003:

DDSCL_NORMAL | DDSCL_EXCLUSIVE : DDERR_INVALIDPARAMS
DDSCL_NORMAL | DDSCL_FULLSCREEN : DD_OK

If this happens on XP too(I don't know how good Windows Server 2003 is as a 
reference for directx), I recommend to call CreateSurface to attempt to 
create a double buffered primary surface. If this succeeds, ddraw most likely 
switched to FULLSCREEN | EXCLUSIVE mode, if it doesn't, ddraw uses NORMAL 
mode.
