Has anyone tested SetVirtualResolution() using DX7 drivers? It works fine on my PC but is failing on a friend's netbook. Thanks!

If you're talking about using the D3D7Max2DDriver() then it's working fine in my game engine, and I'm able to switch between virtual resolutions on the fly without any problems.

Must be some weird bug in my code I guess. I'm going to set using SetViewPort afterwards in case that helps.

OK I found out that it doesn't work properly on some small netbooks if using DX7 but works fine using DX9, so I converted my framework to DX9 finally.

I noticed this as well on my company laptop. DX7 viewport is buggered on some built-in gfx chips.

I don't know if it was the viewport screwing up, the problem appeared to be that nothing was scale as it should be due to SetVirtualResolution.
