Don't capture the display. It's discouraged nowadays because it will
prevent the user from seeing important things like the "Your battery is
about to die" message. It also doesn't get you any net performance gain;
fullscreen OpenGL contexts have been deprecated for a couple OS releases
now.

Send -enterFullScreenMode:withPresentationOptions: to your OpenGL view.
You can pass a ton of arguments to it to disable the menu bar, app
switching, etc.  If you want to render at a lower resolution than the
display, render to a texture of the appropriate size and then draw that
texture in a fullscreen quad.
