I hesitate to put words in his mouth, but I think when he says "current view", what he was trying to say was that he wanted to know the original resolution of the primary monitor. (Re)reading the display docs, I might try pygame.display.get_wm_info() and see what it told me, but the description makes it sound like it's not terribly portable or reliable. I was also hopeful that there might be something relevant in pygame.display.Info, or pygame.display.list_modes(), but nothing looks very helpful. My first reaction when he posted was "of course PyGame doesn't do that, that's the window manager's responsibility" - which makes me curious; is there any Python module that does provide access to that sort of information in a cross-platform way?
