Yes, I looked into that. That function has the problem of returning only 
resolutions for a specific pixelformat and flags combination. And I 
don't know what combinations should be used to get a good list of 
possible modes.

I'm doing OpenGL so the flags parameter is just SDL_OPENGL? Or do I have 
to pass the SDL_FULLSCREEN flag too?

I'm not sure, but I think that 16bpp and 32bpp are enough for the bits 
per pixel part. But can I get possible refresh rates for those and their 
available resolutions?
