Thank you.
That was exactly what I needed.

Because the Borland help file is really outdated... use either the online MS-Platform SDK help (or alternatively the search engine of your choice =) or download it from MS.
Here's a small program which prints the screen characteristics you need to the console (no need to fiddle around with device contexts, no error handling):
program PrintScreenCharacteristics;
uses Windows;
var mode : TDevMode;
const // this constant does not seem to be defined in my FPC distro ENUM_CURRENT_SETTINGS = $FFFFFFFF;
begin EnumDisplaySettings(nil, ENUM_CURRENT_SETTINGS, mode); writeln(mode.dmPelsWidth, 'x', mode.dmPelsHeight, 'x', mode.dmBitsPerPel, '@',mode.dmDisplayFrequency); readln; end.
See the MS-docs for this function for further explanation.
Compiles and runs with FPC 1.9.3 - 2004/04/09.
