The code you've pasted doesn't work properly; it returns the size of virtual screen — so you added 3x as much lines to get, in effect, the same (incorrect) result as the few lines I pasted. > Oh, and no I don't actually know what you mean, because it depends on what > application you are writing. Whatever it could be — an useful tool, or a silly game, open-source, or commercial — it needs to find out the exact physical screen's dimensions (in pixels), to learn how big is the working area. > If you do teleconferencing, you might want to capture either the entire > screen, or some window. > > If you want to record a movie of a game playing fullscreen, than you > probably need the position and dimensions of the game window, because > games often change video mode while keeping original virtual screen > intact. > > If you want to make a better Xvnc, you probably need the code above and > you might not need xrandr. > > If you are doing something else - who knows what you mean ? So now you see (I hope that you see): „if… if… if… if… else…” etc. A whole lot of checks and decisions that could be avoided, _IF_ the two macros were working properly -- best, Teenager
