917 vid_fullscreen is "0" ["1"] use fullscreen (1) or windowed (0)
918 vid_gl13 is "1" ["1"] enables faster rendering using OpenGL 1.3 features (such as GL_ARB_texture_env_combine extension)
919 vid_gl20 is "1" ["1"] enables faster rendering using OpenGL 2.0 features (such as GL_ARB_fragment_shader extension)
920 vid_grabkeyboard is "0" ["0"] whether to grab the keyboard when mouse is active (prevents use of volume control keys, music player keys, etc on some keyboards)
921 vid_hardwaregammasupported is "0" ["1"] indicates whether hardware gamma is supported (updated by attempts to set hardware gamma ramps)
922 vid_height is "768" ["480"] resolution

924 vid_minwidth is "0" ["0"] minimum vid_width that is acceptable (to be set in default.cfg in mods)
925 vid_mouse is "1" ["1"] whether to use the mouse in windowed mode (fullscreen always does)

927 vid_refreshrate is "60" ["60"] refresh rate to use, in hz (higher values flicker less, if supported by your monitor)
928 vid_resizable is "0" ["0"] 0: window not resizable, 1: resizable, 2: window can be resized but the framebuffer isn't adjusted
929 vid_samples is "1" ["1"] how many anti-aliasing samples per pixel to request from the graphics driver (4 is recommended, 1 is faster)
