hal and software vertex processing doesn't sound right... might give you something like E_INVALIDCALL instead of D3D_OK as a return result. make sure those params are not mutually exclusive.
here's the startup code from Caveman 3.0 (a dx9 app)...
do adapter stuff determines the screen resolution to use.
