The difference between in a window and fullscreen is actually quite
minor. When you're in fullscreen mode what you've done is zoomed in your
desktop and moved the zoomed portion to cover just the window. (Just
the same hitting ctrl-alt-plus and ctrl-alt-minus) The game still runs
in a window in either case. So, the behavior shouldn't be any different.

DGA is turned off in the current configuration. I've just started adding
those features back in. The latest code in the trunk has some support
for DGA but is broken, the code in my tdfx-1-1 branch should be
working. 

To be more specific, DGA mouse, which you use for Quake*, is a different
matter. Q3A is linked against the old (version 1) DGA. For some reason
the server doesn't correctly handle that and the mouse flys off to a
corner and stays there, so it is pretty much useless. This needs to be
fixed by XFree. 

The xawtv issues are fixed in my tdfx-1-1 branch.
