Dear community,

With SDL now being available, I would like to be able to query blitzmax to see if it can do DX accelerated and then ask it if OpenGL accelerated is available.

So it tries DX, and if that fails, it tries OGL and if OGL fails or IS NOT accelerated, then it switches to SDL.

I would like to check because if both DX and OGL fail, it's likely blitzmax will throw an error instead of letting me choose to use SDL.

Your thoughts?
