Are there any methods to get the screen resolution?
On C/C++ from under X11, it is not possible to do this on the
command line via SSH, since the display is not defined. And is
it possible to do this somehow by means of D, pulling out the
system resolution of the installed display?
Like C++, the D standard library doesn't have anything for this.
It's platform specific. There are several open source libraries
out there that include that functionality, so you could just look
at one of them (GLFW, SDL, SFML, etc.) and do what they do for
the platforms you care about. They all have to go through the
same system APIs. For example, on Windows you can use two calls
to `GetSystemMetrics` (one for the width, one for the height).
