You are absolutely right. I was able to set a bigger-than 2048 resolution on my desktop, and then start openarena in windowed mode, and it still ran with DRI (up to 2047x2047).

I didn't think to test it before because I thought the compositing being disabled meant I'd lost DRI, but I was wrong.

Marking this bug as verified then.
