Basically, I wish to know for example:
- Will the video display accept, say, 1600x1200 ?
- What is the video display's aspect ratio ? 5:4, 4:3, 16:9

When I say video display, I don't mean the graphics card, but the screen.

I think DDVIDEOPORTCAPS in Direct Draw is exactly what I was looking for. Just that I have no clue how to write DECLS for a system DLL (or any DLL).

If EnumDisplayModes enumerates the video display modes that it is capable of displaying, then THAT is what I need.
