Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to get current X screen resolution Post 302382711 by TonyFullerMalv on Thursday 24th of December 2009 02:16:58 PM

The output from xdpyinfo(1) also includes amongst many other things the line:
Code:
dimensions:    1280x800 pixels (301x192 millimeters)

that provides what you want, as long as you have only 1 screen.

But using xrandr(1) the following would do the trick:
Code:
$ cat ./xrandr_test.sh
LINE=`xrandr -q | grep Screen`
echo LINE = ${LINE}
WIDTH=`echo ${LINE} | awk '{ print $8 }'`
echo WIDTH = ${WIDTH}
HEIGHT=`echo ${LINE} | awk '{ print $10 }' | awk -F"," '{ print $1 }'`
echo HEIGHT = ${HEIGHT}
$ ./xrandr_test.sh
LINE = Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1280 x 800, maximum 1280 x 800
WIDTH = 1280
HEIGHT = 800
$
