Hello Alex,

I have tested these latest DirectX changes, and it's an improvement, but 
there are still significant problems, at least with my setup.

The results vary depending on the resolution I am using.  Some resolutions 
the cursor is correct, others it is garbage pixels.  I have been testing 
with SQ3, starting the game directly without the game selection screen.  I 
have tested with various resolutions between 800x600 and 1920x1200, in 
widescreen and regular resolutions.

Whenever the cursor is correct, I can usually play.  But there is always a 
problem with a portion of the screen missing at the bottom.  The amount of 
missing vertical pixels varies, sometimes it is enough to cut off the input 
box.  Additionally, when I quit the game, FreeSCI crashes.

Whenever the cursor is garbage, FreeSCI usually crashes pretty early on.

Note that this is all without specifying any scaling in the config file.  If 
I try to specify scale=2, then it never works right.  I have a feeling this 
is not yet supported, but I thought I would try it out.

Without any scaling in the config file, it usually tries to go fullscreen, 
but I always see a title bar and window borders.

Let me know if you need details on specific scenarios.

bye,
hugues
