surround gaming resolutions in 3D mode

Hi guys, I have three 1440 x 900 monitors on my computer, and play games at triple-screen resolutions all the time. In Blitz3D, I can set my computer to triple screen mode, and it works just great, like this:

Graphics 4320,900,32,2

However, this is in the 2D mode command 'Graphics'.

If I type the same thing but as a 3D mode:

Graphics3D 4320,900,32,2

Blitz3D crashes saying it cannot set that 3D mode.

Does anyone know if direct x 9 has a maximum
3D resolution limit or something in Blitz3D? Maybe I could run in 3D triple screen, but at a lower resolution or something? If anyone has gotten 3D mode working in triple screen, any advice would be appreciated.

### Just an update: I just tried lowering the resolution in stages, and when I did 3 x 640 x 480, it actually worked in triple screen, so triple resolutions are possible. But when I stepped up to 3 x 800 x 600, it would not set the 3D mode again...

Directx 7 limits are 2048x1536 for fullscreen and 2048x2048 for windowed mode, anything above that on those modes and you'll get an error.
