its just the same as using windowed mode, except you have to call ChangeDisplaySettings with the flag CDS_FULLSCREEN before you create your window.

Thanks for your help!
I got a simple program to run OpenGL in a fullscreen window using the WGL functions. But its soooo slow, and it flickers occasionally! How do games like Quake and halflife set up OpenGL?
