Yes. Yes it is.
Well instead of doing your hack my last resort is to use lists and have my 'LoadTexture()' function add a pointer to the texture in the list then have a 'ReloadTextures()' function to iterate through all the pointers reload and rebind each one. I have implemented that but am now getting a link error: If you can tell me a way to fix this It would be appreciated.
However in regards to the hack I tried not using SDL_SetVideoMode but nothing happened...
The program was running but there wasn't a window. So yeah.

I'm not sure I see what you're trying to do or why it should be so unnecessarily complicated.

When the mode switch happens, any pointers to assets you have (had) will be gone and dead. Whatever method you used in your initialization step to add textures to the SDL simply needs to be called again.

Well I don't have a function that contains all the texture loading.
But I will put one in and try it.

Edit: It works. Thanks.
