  While we are on the subject, could you use:

   getgdesc(GD_XMMAX);   /* Horizontal size of the screen in millimeters */
   getgdesc(GD_YMMAX);   /* Vertical size of the screen in millimeters */
   getgdesc(GD_XPMAX);   /* Horizontal size of the screen in pixels */
   getgdesc(GD_YPMAX);   /* Vertical size of the screen in pixels */

  to get the screen resolution.  How does the machine know the monitor size?
