I understand that, however, how often do you need to change resolution once the application is running? If it is needed only once when starting it, then it is not a problem. > You can always make the app called and the path application/user > definable with a sensible default for each platform one doesn't need > to hard wire it - if a platform doesn't have anything sensible then > you'd just have a blank app string and would therefore not call the > res changing app. That could work, but I am not sure whether it is actually worth the trouble - the original poster only wanted to change the resolution before starting the application, not during runtime, so this could be an overkill. Perhaps a poll to figure out whether this is a one-off request or a more general issue would be a good thing to do. > BTW, I'm just trying to explore possible solutions here. I see. I would say that a most future-proof solution would be to implement support for the RandR extension (http://keithp.com/~keithp/talks/randr/). This is now supported by everything running X.Org X servers (Linux, various BSDs), however proprietary Unix doesn't support it (SGI, Sun, HP). I am not sure whether that would be a significant issue or not. However, it is not 100% foolproof solution, because not all drivers support it (ATI and nVidia do, though).
