"DirectX Surface Unavailable"
I was curious is any one has ever some version of Direct3D generate a black screen with the text "Surface Unavailable" on it. (It''s a frustrating bug in MOO3).
I was wondering if it''s something Dx does, or if it''s in the MOO code.

AFAIK DirectX never displays any text on the screen* (only via the debug stream) so it definately sounds like the MOO code.

Yes, I''m aware of thread, I was looking for some confirmation that Dx never does that in it''s own.
What is even more bizarre, if you hold down alt when you switch back to the game, and then click on the screen, it comes back to life (with a lot of artifacts).
Has anyone ever observed this behavior in any other (full-screen) Dx program?
