Title: ModeID needed ...
Post by: Ratte on August 05, 2009, 11:48:52 AM

Any idea how to find out a modeid for the current displayed mode?
The function GetModeID is only good for a viewport, but not for the real monitor-output.
For example if i use dragable screens the GetModeID return the value from lets say PAL-NonLace, even if i have pulled down a screen in interlace in the front.
physicly the monitor is running in hires lace, but getmodeid returns hires nonlace.

is there any get"real"modeid out there?

(problems are also present with different monitorids .. super72, multiscan, etc.)

thanks

It is only possible to get mode from the viewport. AFAIK it is not possible to get it for the view.

This always was a problem with the draggable screens. The API never was up to date.
