Not at this time, trying to figure out how to get that info into the
logfiles. I am running Apache if someone wants to be so kind to point me in
the right direction.

Chuck,

Unless the browser sends it to you (either as part of the User Agent string) or you write some _javascript_ code to pass that information back, you can't get it.

I believe what you really want is the browser window size, not the monitor resolution. Monitor resolution is typically 72 dpi for CRTs and 96 (or so) for LCDs (flat panel). Neither of those numbers tells you how many pixels are on the screen or how much of the screen the browser window is using.

Most web designers go for a screen size of 800 x 600. This is short by over 200 pixels horizontally. If you choose to use the next size up (1024 x 768), make sure that your text does not go the full width. It is too hard to read. Also consider your site's audience - the developers I know do not use browsers running full-screen. Many non-developers do use full-screen browsers.
