Not in general. I use the vidmode extension to get the current resolution, since my users often make 720x480 modelines and such things and switch to that (using ctrl-alt-+) to play video. However, I use the geometry information to calculate the pixel aspect ratio to use. So in this case, vidmode tells me our resolution is 1280x1024, and X tells me that we're not using XINERAMA and that our geometry is 867x347 millimeters. Makes sense? -Billy _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
