vid_resizable is "0" ["0"] // 0: window not resizable, 1: resizable, 2: window can be resized but the framebuffer isn't adjusted
vid_sRGB is "0" ["0"] // if hardware is capable, modify rendering to be gamma corrected for the sRGB color standard (computer monitors, TVs), recommended
vid_sRGB_fallback is "0" ["0"] // do an approximate sRGB fallback if not properly supported by hardware (2: also use the fallback if framebuffer is 8bit, 3: always use the fallback even if sRGB is supported)
vid_samples is "0" ["1"] // how many anti-aliasing samples per pixel to request from the graphics driver (4 is recommended, 1 is faster)

vid_touchscreen_overlayalpha is "0.25" ["0.25"] // opacity of touchscreen area icons
vid_touchscreen_showkeyboard is "0" ["0"] // shows the platform's screen keyboard for text entry, can be set by csqc or menu qc if it wants to receive text input, does nothing if the platform has no screen keyboard

vid_userefreshrate is "0" ["0"] // set this to 1 to make vid_refreshrate used, or to 0 to let the engine choose a sane default
vid_vsync is "0" ["0"] // sync to vertical blank, prevents 'tearing' (seeing part of one frame and part of another on the screen at the same time), automatically disabled when doing timedemo benchmarks
