Not quite.  If you have surfaces with the SDL_HWSURFACE flag, you need 
to free those before calling SDL_SetVideoMode (and reload them 
afterwards).  If your new video mode has a different pixel format than 
your old video mode, you should convert your surfaces to the new pixel 
format (possibly reloading them first).  You don't need to reload any 
other resources unless they use SDL_Surfaces internally.
