That's because 3D graphics APIs all work with triangles, not polygons. Every polygonal shape can be constructed from triangles anyway. It was my understanding that .x models contain triangles rather than polygons anyway...

What exactly is the problem you're having that you can do in D3DRM but not a more recent D3D version?
